At Eldorado Tools, we believe today's students are tomorrow's builders, makers, and industry leaders. That's why we started The Build and Make Scholarship, and it's why we're so proud to introduce the two students who earned it this fall.
Out of 632 applicants, Dajia Dominguez and Tonya Chaney stood out. Each received a $500 award toward their education.
Dajia Dominguez: University of Miami
Dajia is studying architectural engineering at the University of Miami, and she brings an artist's eye to the built world. In her words, she looks forward "to growing both as an artist and a builder." We can't wait to see what she designs.
Tonya Chaney: Purdue University Global
Tonya is earning her master's in operations and construction management while completing ten years of active duty in the US Navy. Her goal is "to use my military experience and new education to create a meaningful impact" in construction and manufacturing. We have no doubt she will.
Congratulations, Dajia and Tonya
On behalf of everyone at Eldorado Tools: congratulations, and best of luck on the road ahead. The industries you're entering need people exactly like you, and we're honored to have played a small part in your journey.
