AWS Foundation Announces Light a Spark Grant Recipients

The American Welding Society (AWS) Foundation, in partnership with Miller Electric Mfg. LLC, has announced the recipients of the inaugural Light a Spark Grant.

The recipients of the Light a Spark Grant are Blairsville-Saltsburg School District (PA), Easton Valley High School (IA), James Hillhouse High School (CT), Regional Apprenticeship Pathways (WA), Republic-Michigamme School (MI), Swanville High School (MN), Union Mine High School (CA), and Waltrip High School (TX).

These eight high schools will receive a turn-key Miller welding starter pack including equipment, supplies and personal protective equipment valued at more than $12,000, allowing the schools to introduce welding to their students.

The starter pack includes the following items (subject to change):

  • Miller Multimatic 220 AC/DC Powersource able to perform GTAW, GTAW-P, GMAW, FCAW and SMAW welding processes
  • Miller Spectrum 375 Plasma cutter
  • Oxy-fuel Welding and Cutting Outfit, including cutting and heating tips
  • SMAW, GMAW and GTAW whips with consumable kit
  • Welding Cart, ArcStation welding table, fume extractor and safety screens
  • Personal protective equipment and hand tools, including welding gloves, jacket, auto darkening helmet, chipping hammer, wire brush and more.

"The AWS Foundation is extremely pleased to offer these grants to high schools that do not currently offer a welding program, thus providing hundreds of students the opportunity to experience welding for the first time and consider the possibility of welding as a career," said AWS Foundation Executive Director Monica Pfarr.

"Miller is committed to advancing the craft of welding through training and education," said Becky Tuchscherer, Group President, Miller. "We are proud to partner with the AWS Foundation to provide these schools with the equipment and supplies needed to introduce their students to the craft of welding."
