Why It Matters

About the Craig Gorton Legacy Award

The Craig Gorton Legacy Award was established to support professionals entering the door, frame, and hardware industry by covering full tuition for the in-person Opening Industry Bootcamp. This immersive experience is designed to provide foundational knowledge and hands-on learning that creates a strong industry base.

Because this award honors a specific legacy and experience, it must be used for in-person training at DOIT’s Opening Industry Bootcamp.

Sponsored By

Our scholarship program is made possible by our education sponsors and supporters. Their investment ensures that even more professionals have access to quality training and certification opportunities within the door opening industry.
