The Austin Wilson Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is established in memory of Austin Wilson and is for graduating seniors who have participated in the after-school program “Kids Making It”. Austin Wilson (who was in the Kids Making It woodworking program and went on to become one of the youngest apprentices on the show, This Old House) said that he found a pathway through childhood adversity by working with his hands. The purpose of this scholarship is to provide comprehensive funding to students by creating an opportunity to train in high demand trade careers at CFCC thus increasing the possibility of viable employment after graduation.
