Kevin Kutchka has worked in the construction industry since he was 14 years old and was working for his high school Construction Technology teacher. He wants to advance in the industry to be a project manager or project engineer. “The satisfaction that you receive when you step back and look at your work when it is finished is amazing,” he writes. Kevin continues to work full-time while attending school, but even with his income expenses are tight. This scholarship helps ease the financial burden of educational costs – he does not want heavy student debt upon finishing his education. “My educational goals are to get my associate degree in construction management [from Tarrant County College] and transfer to Tarleton State University and get a bachelor’s degree in either construction management or engineering. Receiving this scholarship will allow me to save my future financial aid so that when I transfer to Tarleton State I will be able to use financial aid to cover the higher cost of attendance,” Kevin explains.
"Dear Donor,
Thank you for establishing this scholarship and giving me the opportunity to receive it to help in furthering my education and career. I have worked in construction the majority of my life and opportunities like this help to advance the construction industry by bringing new people into the industry as well as helping people already in the industry to advance their careers. I am proud to be a part of building America and am proud to have received this scholarship."
