During the 2025 GAWDA Spring Management Conference, GAWDA recognized this year’s GAWDA Scholarship winners. The GAWDA Scholarship awards $2,000 to 15 students that are connected to our community. The goal of the scholarship is to invest in the future of our industry. Since the program launched in 2011, GAWDA has awarded more than 173 scholarships totaling close to $143,000.
The GAWDA Scholarship was created in 2011 for the purpose of providing support to recipients during their formal education. The amount available varies from year to year.
The GAWDA Scholarship is available to children (18+) and employees of active GAWDA member companies. The goal of the GAWDA Scholarship is to promote education within the Gases and Welding Industry. Therefore, the Trustees make the decisions regarding use and distribution of the funds available.
Thank you to the amazing generosity of our donors who continue to make these opportunities possible. And congratulations to this year’s 15 winners!
