2011 Tools Scholarships for AED Accredited & Alliance Colleges
Awarded by The mikeroweWORKS Foundation

I am pleased to announce that The mikeroweWORKS Foundation has awarded a $500.00 tools scholarship to a top diesel/equipment technology student at each of AED's Accredited and Alliance colleges. This represents a total of $12,000 for tools scholarships in 2011. Scholarship winners are general or manufacturer diesel/equipment program students graduating in spring 2011 who earned the highest cumulative GPA at the end of the fall 2010 semester. AED and The AED Foundation would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Rowe and the people at The mikeroweWORKS Foundation for everything they are doing on behalf of the construction industry, including these tools scholarships.

Our congratulations and career best wishes to the winners!
