Congratulations to the 2020 ILRA Scholarship Recipients

As more linemen retire from the trade, the industry needs new and skilled workers to help to power the nation. Through the International LIneman's Rodeo Association and the support of sponsors, future linemen can get the financial support they need to successfully complete their education in the trade. 

Here are the 2020 scholarship recipients. Congratulations to each and every one of these winners from T&D World magazine.
