Are you the next Bob Villa? Do you want to be Holmes on Homes? Is DIY your middle name? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Lowe’s Scholarship Program may be just for you! The nice thing about this scholarship program is that you don’t have to be a jack-of-all trades (handyman) to apply.

Lowes offers a couple of scholarship opportunities. They have a Lowe’s scholarship (which is easy to qualify for and probably what most people go after) and they also have a Carl Buchan scholarship (which is only for Lowes employees and their qualified relatives).

Here is the information for each of these programs:
