To determine how much Alvin's family will need to pay for his welding training, we first calculate how much Alvin can save over the two years.
Alvin saves $250 per month. Over two years (which is 24 months), the total amount he can save is:
\[
250 \text{ dollars/month} \times 24 \text{ months} = 6,000 \text{ dollars}
\]
The total cost of his training is approximately $9,500. To find out how much his family needs to contribute, we subtract the amount Alvin can save from the total training cost:
\[
9,500 \text{ dollars} - 6,000 \text{ dollars} = 3,500 \text{ dollars}
\]
Therefore, Alvin's family will need to pay **$3,500**.
So the answer is: **$3,500**.
