"One of the most meaningful ways we can strengthen our communities is by creating pathways to economic mobility through targeted education in engineering, STEM, architecture, and the skilled trades. The Marand Builders Scholarship Fund invests in students with the passion and potential to succeed, helping them gain the education, technical skills, and industry connections needed to build rewarding careers while strengthening the workforce our communities depend on."
– Francisco Alvarado, CEO, Marand Builders
Join us on October 14th 2026, for the 5th annual Marand Builders Scholarship Fund Clay Shoot and help invest in the next generation of industry leaders.
Students pursuing engineering, STEM, and technical trade careers are entering some of today's most in-demand professions. Engineering graduates are projected to earn an average starting salary of more than $81,000, while many skilled trade careers offer paid apprenticeships that allow students to earn while they continue learning and begin building rewarding careers from day one.
Every sponsorship, team registration, and donation helps remove financial barriers, allowing students to focus on developing the specialized skills and experience needed to succeed. Together, we are creating opportunities, strengthening our workforce, and building brighter futures, one scholarship at a time.
