Fechino Files: Masonry Apprentice Scholarship Program Recipients

Words: Steven Fechino

I hope everyone is warm when they read this now that winter is finally beginning to give us a reprieve. As a way to complete the Masonry Apprentice Scholarship Program I wanted to introduce the list of recipients who were awarded in October of 2024. This year, we were able to pull from several new schools and provide the Masonry Tool Bag to students that had not been aware of our program. The way it works is we decide what schools and students receive the scholarships and send them to the schools for presentation.

The Student List for 2024 includes:

Armondo Acedo: Western Maricopa Education Center, Instructor: Cassie Majia

RJ Jackson: Columbus Career & College Academy, Instructor: Fred Mason

As you can see, this was fun to be a part of this event. The students that receive the scholarships all learn of the scholarship on the day they are presented, we try to never let them know that they are even in the running, making it even a bigger surprise for the student. We are proud of all 184 students that have received a scholarship to date.
