Dear Students,              

It is my pleasure to announce that the ASCE-SEI Student Engagement Committee is soliciting applications for two different SEI Scholarships for students to attend the ASCE-SEI Structures Congress in Phoenix, AZ, April 9-11, 2025. This is a great opportunity to learn, engage, and network with the structural engineering community.

The first scholarship opportunity is open to students (both graduate and undergraduate) to attend their first Structures Congress. The second scholarship is an SEI Future Leader Scholarship open for all students and young professionals to present in a special technical session at the Conference. This is a great opportunity for you to expand your horizons, boost your career, learn about the latest innovations in the field, and have fun connecting with peers and leaders. 

Please apply by January 3, 2025 to participate and get involved in SEI. Find more information about these opportunities at this link: https://www.structurescongress.org/. These scholarships are made possible by the SEI Futures Fund in collaboration with the ASCE Foundation.
