We’re incredibly proud to share some fantastic news from one of our scholarship recipients, Abiasai Sandoval! Just recently, Abiasai graduated from his electrical school program, taking a huge step towards a promising career in the trades.
This exciting milestone was shared with us by Abiasai’s father, Rene, who wrote: “My son just graduated today from the electrical school program. Thanks again for the scholarship! Trio Electric wants to hire him, so he will go on Thursday for his interview and Friday for his orientation. He’s so excited.“
This is exactly the kind of impact the Collin E. Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund aims to make. Established to honor Collin’s passion for the trades and his commitment to helping others, our fund provides vital support to deserving students like Abiasai who are pursuing vocational training and trade careers.
Stories like Abiasai’s highlight the incredible opportunities available in the skilled trades, from welding and HVAC to plumbing and, in Abiasai’s case, electrical work. These careers are not only in high demand but are also essential for building and maintaining our communities.
We congratulate Abiasai on his graduation and wish him all the best in his new career. His dedication and hard work truly embody the spirit of the Collin E. Smith Memorial Scholarship.
