The CRS Roofing & Construction Scholarship

Why We Fund This Scholarship
CRS Roofing & Construction is a locally owned Texas roofing company. We earn a living doing honest, hard work on roofs across West Texas, but hard work is not bound by a zip code. The same grit that gets a roof finished right is what we want to reward in a student, wherever they are.

This scholarship is our way of investing in one student who shows up, works hard, and wants to build a future. We know the cost of school is more than tuition, so the award is yours to put toward whatever keeps you going, books, supplies, housing, food, transportation, or a parking pass. You do not have to live in Texas or study any particular subject. Any major, any goal, any student is welcome.

Who Can Apply
To be eligible, you must:

✓
Be a graduating high school senior, or a currently enrolled college, university, or trade school student (full or part time).

✓
Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5.

The Essay
Write 400 to 600 words on one of the prompts below. We read for honesty and effort, not polish.

Prompt 1
Hard weather tests everything we build. Tell us about a time you had to do honest, hard work to fix or rebuild something, a project, a team, a community, or yourself, and what it taught you about doing a job the right way.

Prompt 2
What are you working toward, and what is one real obstacle you are pushing through to earn your education? Tell us how you keep going and what finishing school will mean for you.
