ELLWOOD Increases 2026 Industrial Maintenance Scholarship To $20,000

ELLWOOD Group is proud to announce applications are open for its 2026 Industrial Maintenance Scholarship program. This year, multiple students pursuing a degree or certification in Industrial Maintenance or a related field, will each receive a scholarship up to $20,000 and the unique opportunity to launch their careers with ELLWOOD through its Industrial Maintenance Development Program.

Industrial Maintenance is a field of engineering that merges mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. This discipline specializes in robotics, control systems and electromechanical systems and is an essential vocation in manufacturing.

The initiative is part of ELLWOOD’s larger commitment to developing the next generation of manufacturing leaders, through recruiting, training and developing industry-leading talent. To date, the company has awarded many scholarships through its Industrial Maintenance Scholarship and Metallurgy Scholarship programs.

“At ELLWOOD, we believe in investing in the next generation of skilled professionals who will shape the future of manufacturing,” said Quyrus Epps, ELLWOOD’s Director of Team Member Relations. “We are proud to support students pursuing these fields and excited to help them launch meaningful, long-term careers with our team.”

Applications are open now through April 17, 2026. Eligible recipients include graduating high school seniors, high school diploma recipients, or individuals who have completed the GED test, with plans to pursue a degree or certification at an approved trade school, college, or university.

Examples of approved trade schools include Laurel Technical Institute in Hermitage, PA; New Castle School of Trades (NCST) in New Castle, PA; Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, PA; Erie Institute of Technology in Erie, PA; Lone Star College in Houston, TX; and MIAT College of Technology in Houston and in Canton, MI. Other trade schools may be approved after a written application and formal review by ELLWOOD.
