The purpose of the SkillsUSA Program Growth Fund is to provide overall program enhancements that are not covered by the general fund, and/or which may benefit individual students as part of a group program. Examples include, but aren’t limited to travel for SkillsUSA, promotional or collateral materials that build pride in the program, technology enhancements not covered by the general fund, field trips for college and career/professional development. With the exception of food stipends that are supplied to students that attend SkillsUSA nationals, direct payments will be made to students.
