Community

In the heart of Morristown, Indiana, a legacy of empowerment and dedication to the local community thrives through the Roger Graham Scholarship. Established to honor the memory of Roger Graham, a cherished member of the CraneWerks family for 18 years, this scholarship serves as a beacon of hope for high school seniors aspiring to pursue careers in trade schools.

A Legacy of Giving

Roger Graham was not just an extraordinary member of the CraneWerks family; he was a man whose actions and words resonated, leaving an indelible mark on the community. His commitment to selfless giving and the belief in the transformative power of education inspired the creation of the scholarship fund in his honor.

The Roger Graham Scholarship

Annually awarded to a deserving local high school senior heading to a trade school, the Roger Graham Scholarship aims to provide financial support that goes beyond the immediate – it’s an investment in the future. Each year’s recipient receives a $2,000.00 check from CraneWerks, providing a stepping stone toward their educational journey.

Why Trade Schools Matter

Trade schools play a crucial role in shaping skilled professionals who are the backbone of various industries. From mechanics and electricians to cosmetologists and healthcare technicians, trade schools nurture the talents that keep our communities running smoothly. However, the financial barriers to accessing quality education can be significant, making the Roger Graham Scholarship a beacon of hope for those with dreams of pursuing a trade.

The Impact on Local Communities

The ripple effect of the Roger Graham Scholarship extends far beyond the individual recipients. By investing in local talent and supporting their aspirations, the scholarship contributes to the development of a skilled workforce that strengthens the community.
