THE GENE HAAS SCHOLARSHIP

The Gene Haas Foundation recognizes that the future of manufacturing in the United States – and around the world – depends directly upon the availability of skilled workers. Expanding the pool of skilled workers hinges on recruiting more young people to pursue careers in manufacturing and creating state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing training programs to ensure that graduating students have the skills necessary when they enter the workforce.

One of the primary goals of the Gene Haas Foundation is to provide financial assistance for students interested in manufacturing-based careers. Gene Haas Scholarship is handled through the college scholarship program. Once you are enrolled in a three unit class you can apply for the scholarship.

No, if you already have hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry and a foundational understanding of CNC machining, you may not need to take the basic classes.

We can assess your experience level and place you in a more advanced class.
