Imagine America Foundation Provides Scholarships for CTE Assistance
The Imagine America Foundation (IAF) is a nonprofit organization established in 1982 to provide a scholarship and award program to students interested in attending career colleges. They are committed to promoting the value of specialized career education and helping students get hands-on training.

During national conference, SkillsUSA will recognize eligible individuals or chapters with the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA). This presidential honor recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers across the country who are answering a call to serve others through their current activities or lifetime efforts.
This program allows SkillsUSA advisors, students and registered alumni to earn recognition for their community service and volunteer activities. To qualify, SkillsUSA members, advisors or alumni must submit a record of service hours. With SkillsUSA’s focus on service, many advisors and students have already met the requirements to receive the award.
