He got into it by accident when his college age son wanted to brew beer. The process made a complete mess of the household stove, but they kept trying.

Library Grants and Scholarships Awarded

By / CNOtes /

CHS partnered with our club to find students who have a desire and a financial need to pursue a degree in the skilled trades to present them with the Skilled Trades Scholarships. Skilled trades are in high demand and this is a wonderful opportunity for a good job, to earn good money, and have a great future. The Will Cale Scholarship requires a Counselor’s recommendation and the emphasis for selection is on financial need and potential rather than academics or class standing. The goal is for the recipient to graduate from Sinclair with an Associate Degree.
