It is already incredibly difficult for students to pay the high cost of tuition and most trade schools are similarly priced to state colleges, so they do not necessarily offer a more affordable option. Additionally, students in the trades typically need to purchase thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of tools on top of their tuition to their college. The GPS Insight scholarship of $10,000 could easily pay for all the students required tools for their college degree and could be the deciding factor of whether they will be able to attend college at all. This scholarship also gives students an opportunity to feel proud of themselves for choosing a career in the trades and honors them for their hard work and success in both their academics and chosen field.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-881a685\" data-id=\"881a685\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78b2612 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"78b2612\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI think this is a great opportunity for Jacob to further his education in a field that he truly enjoys.\u201d \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">-Jeff Palmer, Magnakleen Services<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53f1056 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"53f1056\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magnakleen.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"407\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-61233\" alt=\"magnakleen_logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo.png 407w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo-300x66.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo-150x33.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0d7aab1 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0d7aab1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e19f8d8\" data-id=\"e19f8d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2b1183 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f2b1183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FACEBOOK QUOTE:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67fa0e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67fa0e7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-99567c7\" data-id=\"99567c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e20e00 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"3e20e00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"As Jake's mom, I've seen his school struggles over the years and have always worried about what he would do with his future.

He grew up watching his father and stepfather fix their cars, and he became extremely fascinated with mechanics. Since he learns best by using his hands, he felt a trade route was the best for his career.<\/p><p>After his parents divorced, his mom, who had no college education, went back to school while raising Michael and his two sisters. During his senior year, he tragically lost his father.<\/p><p>He enjoys building computers, which he compares to mini cars or big Legos. He also has done lots of work to his cars, from replacing the transmission line to putting in rear control arms to fixing the rack and pinon. His stepfather has helped him, and Michael sees him as a great example of successful work in the trades.<\/p><p>When he\u2019s not in school, Michael likes to skate, play video games, and be outside working on his car. He plans on focusing on mechanics, in particular aviation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI have learned to work through some of the most difficult situations and now only to just get through them, but to come out a better person because of them.

It is already incredibly difficult for students to pay the high cost of tuition and most trade schools are similarly priced to state colleges, so they do not necessarily offer a more affordable option. Additionally, students in the trades typically need to purchase thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of tools on top of their tuition to their college. The GPS Insight scholarship of $10,000 could easily pay for all the students required tools for their college degree and could be the deciding factor of whether they will be able to attend college at all. This scholarship also gives students an opportunity to feel proud of themselves for choosing a career in the trades and honors them for their hard work and success in both their academics and chosen field.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI think this is a great opportunity for Jacob to further his education in a field that he truly enjoys.\u201d \t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<footer>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>-Jeff Palmer, Magnakleen Services<\/cite>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/footer>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magnakleen.com\/\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"407\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo.png\" alt=\"magnakleen_logo\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo.png 407w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo-300x66.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/magnakleen_logo-150x33.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<h2>Honorable Mentions: $500<\/h2>\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"212\" height=\"22\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GPSI-Data-Dots.png\" alt=\"GPSI Data Dots\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GPSI-Data-Dots.png 212w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/GPSI-Data-Dots-150x16.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/scholarship-winner-alexandra.png\" title=\"scholarship-winner-alexandra\" alt=\"scholarship-winner-alexandra\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead Alexandra's Bio\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alexandra Zapien is a high school senior at Freedom High School in Oakley, California.

I think it\u2019s great when anyone takes an interest in doing a skilled trade, because we need people to support our crucial infrastructure. Also, there aren\u2019t too many female welders now, and having more opportunities for females in the field might start to balance the male to female ratio. The fact that Alexandra taught herself to weld, and she took the time and dedication to learn her craft and keep advancing \u2013 she will do great things. I appreciate that you selected her for this scholarship. When she\u2019s looking for a job, she can call me, because I need a welder.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<footer>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>-Jonathan Diggs, Alvah Group, Inc.<\/cite>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/footer>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/alvahgroup.com\/\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"290\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/alvah-group-logo-290x300-1.png\" alt=\"alvah-group-logo-290x300\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/alvah-group-logo-290x300-1.png 290w, https:\/\/www.gpsinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/alvah-group-logo-290x300-1-145x150.png 145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\r\n\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe are honored to have helped Briley in this process.
