Big Creek Lumber, Davenport, Ca., will be offering the McCrary Family Scholarship for Forestry and the Trades for a fifth consecutive year.
The scholarship was founded in 2021 to celebrate the company’s 75th year in business and was named after the McCrary family, which has owned the business since it was founded in 1946. Recognizing a growing need for young people to enter the skilled trades, the McCrarys wanted to encourage and provide this scholarship to support the educations of students pursuing careers in manufacturing, construction, maintenance or forestry.
Past recipients are also invited to apply for a one-time scholarship renewal for continued support of their education. In 2024, eight deserving students won awards—two of whom were past winners.
The McCrary Family Scholarship honors the careers of late Big Creek Lumber co-founders Bud and Lud McCrary who made their impact through their work in the skilled trades and by advancing the practice of environmentally responsible forestry. The scholarship also honors the skilled tradespeople and forestry professionals who are customers or employees of Big Creek and have contributed to the company’s continued success.
Students who are seeking to apply for 2025 can get more information, including an application at www.bigcreeklumber.com.
