As part of our ongoing commitment to the community, WHBA annually awards $5,000 in scholarships to deserving students pursuing careers in the home building industry.

This is our way of ensuring that there will always be a continuous supply of highly qualified building construction workers in the future.

The scholarship funds are raised primarily from three events including the Annual Auction, Clay Shoot and Whitetails Banquet.

Proceeds from these events are deposited in the WHBA account of the Wisconsin Builders Association Foundation, a 501 (c)(6) non-profit, philanthropic organization that benefits a variety of charitable causes related to the housing industry.
