Henry Graeber Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Henry Graeber Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to help students turn their passion for manufacturing into a lifelong career. This scholarship honors Henry Graeber, a dedicated leader who spent nearly 20 years supporting local manufacturers and building opportunities for future talent in Central Florida. 

Through the generosity of companies and individuals, we provide financial assistance to students who are ready to take the next step in achieving their goals. Each year, we award scholarships to those who share that same passion and drive. This year we will be awarding five (5) students with $1,000 towards their education. 

Now it’s your turn. Start your journey in manufacturing and apply today.
