ELECTRICAL EDUCATION TRUST AREA 1 INSIDE ELECTRICAL JATC INDUSTRY SCHOLARSHIP Letter of Introduction MA 1046 Scholarship ¨C ATD Recommendations Exception: In an effort to provide a transition from school to registered apprenticeship for highly qualified high school graduates, the sponsor has developed a scholarship program. In conjunction with participating high schools, the sponsor will make up to one scholarship available in each county covered by its standard. Scholarships will be awarded based on the following: 1) The sponsor will mail a summary of the scholarship program to all high schools in its geographical area in September of each year. 2) High schools wishing to participate must submit a letter indicating their desire to participate no later than October 31st . 3) The sponsor will provide each interested high school with scholarship applications and a summary of the scoring criteria. 4) Each high school student wishing to participate must submit a completed application no later than May 2nd of the student¡¯s year of graduation. 5) In March of each year the sponsor will poll its employers. Based on their willingness to participate the committee will establish the number of scholarships to be awarded and the counties in which they will be awarded. 6) The committee will select no more than one employer from each county to sponsor a scholarship apprentice. If more than one employer maintaining its principal place of business in an individual county requests to sponsor a scholarship, the committee will establish selection criteria and select the most qualified employer. 7) In April of each year the sponsor will evaluate the student applications. Scholarships will be awarded in June. 8) Upon graduation and reaching the age of 18 the selected student in each county will be registered and placed directly in employment with the sponsoring employer. 6915 NE 42 nd Ave. Portland, OR 97218?Phone 503-459-4056?

- 2. Thank you for your interest in the Area 1 Inside Electrical JATC Industry Scholarship. The intent of this scholarship is to give the awarding recipient the opportunity to step into a career field that has taken other individuals months or even years to become a part of. The winner of the scholarship will be placed with an employer and given the opportunity to learn the required skills to become a licensed electrician. Once the scholarship has been awarded, and upon completion of high school, the scholarship winner will sign a legal application that will make him or her, a registered apprentice with the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The then registered apprentice will become gainfully employed, receiving a beginning wage of 13.58 per hour (not including benefits) with periodic increases typically every 6-months based on related training (classes) and on the job training hours accrued in the field. Once the applicant becomes an apprentice, he or she will be required to follow all the rules and regulations as dictated by the apprenticeship committee and the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The Electrical Education Trust will provide the cost of tuition and books to the awarded recipient. This scholarship is renewable every year based on grades, performance in the field and evidence that the apprentice has followed all proper procedures as outlined by the committee. Should the Electrical Education Trust decide not to renew a scholarship, the apprentice will then make the decision to continue through the program at his or her own cost or ask to be withdrawn. The related training portion of the scholarship can only be obtained at the Northwest Institute of Electrical Technology. Students are required to attend class one (1) evening a week from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This scholarship only includes the cost of books or tuition, or the combination of both. No other expenses are expected or paid. Any apprentices not maintaining a ¡°C¡± average, engaging in insubordinate behavior or failing to maintain reasonably continuous employment will not have his or her scholarship renewed and may face termination from the apprenticeship program. As directed by the Bureau of Labor and Industries, the basic minimum qualifications for an applicant must be met and submitted by the applicant with this application. The basic requirements are as follows; a. Must show on High School transcripts that one (1) year of Algebra (not pre or elementary Algebra) has been taken and passed with a grade of ¡°C¡± or better. b. Cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better c. High School Graduate (verification for graduation to be expected before signing apprenticeship agreement, not at time of application.) d. 18 years old at the time of apprenticeship registration In addition, you will need to complete the following form.
