Stan & Thelma Plumlee Scholarship Committee

Up to four (4) Scholarships will be awarded in 2026 through the Factory-Built Home Industry.

  • Two (2) $2,500 Scholarships will be available for trade school (certification program) students.
  • Two (2) $5,000 Scholarships will be available for degree program students.


  • Qualifying students must be pursuing a certification or degree which supports the construction industry.

Why is advanced training in the trades so important?

The most recent reports indicate the construction industry will need to attract an estimated 439,000 net new workers in 2025 to meet anticipated demand for construction services, and would need to bring in 499,000 new workers in 2026, as spending picks up in response to presumed lower interest rates. 

Educating our Youth

Honoring our leaders.

Stan and Thelma Plumlee Scholarship funds are awarded by the Tennessee Housing Association, as an honor to the late Stan Plumlee. 


Mr. Plumlee was a pioneer of the factory-built industry. He was a man of upstanding character, tremendous compassion and dedication, an avid proponent of higher education, and a friend to all. 


We honor his legacy to our industry, by continuing to further his desire to see deserving individuals have the opportunity of that higher education.
