Rainstone Water Heaters Scholarship Program

Rainstone Water Heaters is proud to support the next generation of Texas students through our annual $1,000 scholarship. As a Texas plumbing company built by people who work with their hands — and their heads — we know strong businesses and strong communities require strong thinkers.

This scholarship is open to any student who is currently enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a U.S. college, university, community college, or trade or technical school. It is offered together with our sister company, Rainstone Roofing: applicants to either Rainstone company’s scholarship are pooled and considered for the same single annual Rainstone award.
