Be prepared for our Annual Holiday Party and Auction by bringing your donations (cash, check, or credit card) to the holiday event. We will accept VISA, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

For many years the Cleveland Section named scholarships have continued to assist students learning to weld, students enrolled in four-year university degree programs, and career welders learning a new process, or returning to college and this auction is the primary fund raiser for scholarships.

These three named scholarships, the John Gerken, the Jack Buck, and the Ray Sacha, represent members of the Cleveland Section who not only devoted time and energy to the welding industry but donated money to create scholarships. Each has a specific focus.

  • The Gerken Award assists a student attend study a welding related program at a community college or university level for up to four years.
  • The Buck Award lends a hand to a student developing pipe welding
    skills at the Lincoln Electric Welding School.
  • The Sacha Award encourages a student to develop welding skills at the Lincoln Electric Welding School before or during the pursuit of a post secondary degree in a welding related program.
  • The Lowbrow Customs Scholarship is for a student in the section attending the Lincoln Electric Welding School.

These scholarships are awarded to residents within the Cleveland Section boundaries – Sandusky to
Ashtabula, Cleveland to Akron. You do not have to be an AWS member or related to an AWS member to receive a scholarship. There is also a general scholarship fund administered by the Section that is available to qualified candidates.
