SkillPointe Foundation is now SKILLED Nation.
Scholarships for Skilled Careers

Fund More Students

SKILLED Nation works directly with community colleges, trade schools, and workforce training programs to connect students with scholarship funding and remove barriers to attendance and completion – as well as connect graduates with employment opportunities. 

We have millions in active scholarship funding, helping students across all 50 states in programs related to high-demand skills not requiring a four-year degree.  

Simply point your students to SKILLED Nation. We handle everything else, from application processing and scholar selection to fund disbursement (paid directly to schools) and outcome tracking. There is no cost to your school and no administrative burden on your staff. 

When your students finish their programs and step into careers that pay, your community feels it. That’s the outcome we are both working toward. 

What We Ask of School Partners

We simply ask our school partners to share our scholarships with students; include us in financial aid conversations; and let your advisor know about us. That's it. 

We also welcome conversations about building a deeper referral relationship. Reach out and let us know what would work best for your institution.
