The Saratoga Builders Association Inc. announced
its continued monetary commitment to
education with the awarding of a $1,000 student
scholarship in 2016.
The organization makes this scholarship

purchase tools for employment in construction.
The association said students must have a
GPA of 3.0 or higher to be eligible. They must
also demonstrate current or past involvement

in high school. Each applicant must also submit

they are interested in a construction industry
career and what events led to this decision.
