Contractor’s Dependent Scholarship
Thomas Herbert Scholarship
Dear TARC,
I was fortunate enough to receive the Contractor’s Dependent Scholarship that TARC offers for my freshman year in 2019, as well as my junior year in 2021. I am writing this letter to show my upmost gratitude to TARC ($2,000 at least deserves a letter, right?). I am a 3rd generation “roofer”, which I use that term lightly given that I only spent a few months in the field and my mother was never in the field, nonetheless, my family has been in the industry for quite a while now. I attended Volunteer State Community College and then transferred to Western Kentucky University where I majored in Construction Management. I knew that I would likely stay in the industry and come to work at Water Control Roofing Company (which my grandfather started and where my mother and I work).
Everyone knows that college isn’t cheap, so any and all financial help I got was more than appreciated. Receiving such financial help from an association that is continuously improving the industry, that I will likely spend the rest of my working life in, felt like a warm welcome into the world of roofing. I look forward to being a member of TARC for years to come.
Sincerely,
W. Cole Pond
Water Control Roofing
