The Helping Hand Scholarship is a merit-based award, established in honor of Gene Mazur, a long-time helping hand of Manchester, Connecticut.
The award is open to females who attended Manchester, CT school systems, and who have been accepted to attend an accredited trade school. A traditional high school diploma is not required; applicants who earned a GED or followed a non-traditional educational path are equally encouraged to apply. This scholarship is not need-based. Selection is based on merit, including the applicant’s motivation, practical aptitude, and dedication to their chosen trade. Consideration will also be given to letters of recommendation from teachers, mentors, employers, or community members who can speak to the applicant’s character, work ethic, and potential for success in the trades.
