Hello,

I am pleased to announce that a scholarship for CEE students has recently been brought to our team’s attention.

Please see the attached pdf for further details, deadlines, and the application form itself.

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:

• Have attained at least Junior standing in a civil engineering curriculum that is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET), and;
• Show promise of significant accomplishment in professional engineering or in the construction industry, and;
• Be a citizen of the United States, with a permanent residence within the jurisdiction of the Seattle Section of ASCE.

The Richard Williamson Jones Memorial Scholarship was established by his wife, Kathie, because Richard often commented that when he was a student, he would have been much better off if he had just had a little more money for books and supplies. The scholarship continues through Kathie Jones’ estate.

Richard Jones was a civil engineer and a member of the Seattle Section of ASCE, when he died in an airplane crash at the age of 53. He was a graduate of the University of Washington and was admitted as a Member of the Society in 1949 and as a Fellow in 1959. Mr. Jones joined General Construction Company in 1933 where he worked on many projects in the Seattle and Portland area, including the Bonneville Dam and as Chief Engineer on the Hungry Horse Dam. At the time of his death, he was Executive Vice President of General Construction Company.

The typical scholarship amount distributed annually is $2,000. For the 2025 year, they will be awarding two (2) $4,000 scholarships! Continue reading →
