'It is truly impressive to see the talent in our community and FBP is proud to be a part of their journey towards a STEAM-related career.'
In addition to the $2,000 STEAM scholarships, the inaugural $1,000 FBP Trade scholarships were awarded to students ready to further their education for a career in the trades.
