Student Scholarship and Travel Opportunity

Students,

I wanted to share a great scholarship opportunity for you to attend the 2024 North American Tunneling Conference (NAT) this coming summer (June 23-26) in Nashville, TN. This is an expenses paid opportunity for students to network with the industry and learn about the current state of practice.

You can apply at the following website.  https://natconference.com/scholarships/

I was awarded one of these scholarships back in 2017 while I was completing my Geotechnical Engineering Masters at UW and it was a great benefit to me moving forward with my career.  They covered all of my registration, lodging and travel expenses. I made contacts at that conference that I remain in contact with to this day.  Applications are due by April 15, 2024.
