The Kyburz-Carlson Building/Construction Trades Scholarship was established and funded by the Kyburz-Carlson Construction Company to provide a funding opportunity for CHS students planning to pursue a post-secondary degree in the field of Building/Construction Trades.

Interest earned from this endowment will be used to fund this annual scholarship. Additional donations given toward this endowed fund will be added to the principle value, therefore increasing the amount and/or number of awards given annually to CHS students pursuing a degree in this career field.
