There are a variety of trades students choose to make a career out of, but their choice becomes a lot easier when they earn a full tuition scholarship.

For Flagstaff High School senior Marshawn Gorman, 17, his choice became much clearer when he walked away with the grand prize at the "Weld to Win" welding contest held at Tulsa Welding School in Tulsa, Okla. on Feb. 15.

The school's Agency Advisor Jenny Pacheco said that approximately 260 high school students from all over the United States competed for the grand prize - a full tuition scholarship worth $15,288 from Tulsa Welding School.
