Scholarship Information

Lehigh Inland funds this scholarship in memory of two employees who passed away while in the employ of the company, George Street (a millwright/welder who died in 1989) and George Ritz (an electrician who died in 2002). Trades people are an important and integral part of our organization whether they be in our Cement, Concrete, Aggregates or Pipe operations. We see the value in supporting and encouraging people to enter the trades and technical world of work as without them we would have little success in maintaining and upgrading our 56 plant and physical locations. Skilled trades people are key to the future of our organization. This scholarship is an investment in the future.
