Dominium Trade School Awards Program
Dominium has established a scholarship program to assist students who plan to continue their education in vocational-technical school programs.
Dominium Trade School Awards Program
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the Dominium Trade School Awards Program Awards Program must:
