DONALD CHAIKEN BUILDING INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIPS

The inception of the California Homebuilding Foundation scholarship program was rooted in the principle that every driven individual with a need should be afforded the chance to advance their education or skills within the homebuilding and construction sector. Scholarships are granted to graduates of the Donald Chaiken Building Industry Technology Academy (BITA) who are pursuing further education in postsecondary homebuilding-related programs, community colleges, California State Universities (CSU) and technical schools. Applications are welcomed throughout the year.
