The Original Granite Bracket® Scholarship from The Original Granite Bracket®

 

Award Overview:  The Original Granite Bracket® of St Augustine, Fl hereby establish the The Original Granite Bracket® Scholarship. An initial scholarship of $500 will be awarded to a Florida student entering a four year college.

The Original Granite Bracket® began when it became apparent that the industry regarding granite counter-top installation was lacking an affordable and viable way to get hidden countertop support brackets for the stone countertop support and bar top overhangs, which have become so popular with fabricators, installers, designers, and homeowners. 

After years of owning a granite fabrication and kitchen design center we decided to address this need and started designing hidden countertop support brackets to support overhangs on granite and stone countertops. Thus The Original Granite Bracket® began.

This humble company is proud to say it originated the hidden countertop overhang supports brackets. We are most proud to be a Made in the USA company using American Steel.
