Course Tuition: $1,500

Scholarships covering 95% of the full tuition cost are available if you’re committed to pursuing a new job or promotion in Denver’s construction industry. If eligible for this scholarship, students will only be required to pay a $50 nonrefundable course fee.

All students receiving a scholarship are expected to seriously pursue career options in the construction industry, including but not limited to: resume preparation, mock interviews, applying to multiple job opportunities, seeking promotion in a current position, etc. Students who are not interested in a career in construction may enroll in the Carpentry course for the full tuition cost.

For all interested students, the Carpentry course requires a refundable $50 deposit to secure your spot. 

*Partial tuition coverage is also available through our WORKNOW scholarship.
