Jon, representing the KCA, discusses the unique structure of the scholarship, which offers recurring financial support for up to four years to Pennsylvania residents pursuing construction-related degrees at Pennsylvania colleges. This year, the KCA is committed to awarding $40,000 in scholarships, emphasizing the importance of building relationships with scholarship recipients.
