Hello,

I wanted to send a reminder that the WTS Puget Sound Chapter’s scholarships are due December 6th, 2024 at 11:59 PM. 

We are offering 10 wonderful scholarships totalling over $50,000 to graduate and undergraduate, community college, and trade school women and non-binary students who are passionate about the transportation industry. 

Please see attached for a flyer detailing our available scholarships, and a pdf of the application form. More information can be found on our website here: https://www.wtsinternational.org/chapters/puget-sound-seattle/scholarships

We are so excited to be able to offer these wonderful scholarship opportunities, and we greatly appreciate your support in spreading the word!

Application All Scholarship 2024-25

FYI to any graduate or undergraduate woman/non-binary student interested in transportation:

I was asked by a former student to forward this information to you. WTS is an organization that attracts, sustains, connects, and advances women’s careers to strengthen the transportation industry. Each year, their Puget Sound chapter offers a number of scholarships to women and non-binary students pursuing a career in the transportation industry. The best part is that there is ONE application to fill out and several possible scholarships (some are for undergraduate students, some are for graduate students). Those are excellent odds. 

Apply here: https://www.wtsinternational.org/chapters/puget-sound-seattle/scholarships

Deadline: 6 December 2024

WTS (and other organizations) want to give you, students, money to complete your degree. They really want to help and reward you for your efforts. My experience recently is that there really aren’t that many students applying for these types of scholarships. So, your odds are probably better than you think. Most of these WTS scholarships require you to fill out a form and write some kind of personal statement (500 words). By my estimate, that’s about 1-2 hours of your time for a potential return of $3,000 to $10,000. There is even one award, the Professor Scott Rutherford Memorial Scholarship, that is named in honor of a recent UW faculty member and it is only open to UW students. I knew Scott. He was a great person and I know he would want you to apply. 

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.

If you have any questions regarding the Student Scholarships or would like more information, please email Dr. Kevin McMullen. (kevin.mcmullen@westpoint.edu) SEI Student Engagement Committee Secretary.

Hi all,

My last reminder to you that there are $15,000 worth of construction-related scholarships to be given out soon. Applications to these scholarships are due this Friday (November 8^th). I see several “partial” applications, which means to me that they were started but not quite finished. Get those applications in. This is real money for you.

See details and application link below. ⬇️

I am writing to let everyone know that there is a great scholarship opportunity for students interested in and involved with construction engineering. There are scholarships from the Beavers Charitable Trust and the Clark Construction Group available for award. The awards will be TWO $5,000 cash scholarships from the Beavers and TWO $2,500 cash scholarships from Clark. Awards will be given in November. Here are the application particulars:

 REQUIREMENTS

• The applicant must have completed an internship (or have an ongoing one) with a construction company. This is the big requirement – it does limit the applicant pool quite a bit. I am aware of a number of students who meet this requirement (e.g., Clark, Flatiron, Granite, Stacy and Witbeck, Kiewit, Skanska, Walsh, Sellen, Mortenson, and more). If you have had a construction company internship, we will find you and get you to enter…so do it voluntarily first. 😉
• The applicant must be in good academic standing. This means not on academic probation and no history of academic misconduct.
• The applicant must fill out an application (shocking) here: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8067529/2024-Beavers-Charitable-Trust-and-Clark-Construction-Group-Scholarships. This application involves you writing 1 page on your intern experience. So, it takes a bit of time to complete.

DUE DATE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8^TH, 11:59 P.M. Continue reading →

Hi all,

I just want to remind everyone – there are 4 days left to apply for these 4 scholarships. If you had an internship with a construction company last summer please apply.

A nice $2500 or $5000 before Thanksgiving would feel REALLY good. These construction companies want to help YOU.

Hope the first few weeks of class are going well for you!

Attention Undergraduates:

This announcement for scholarships just came out. These are IN ADDITION to the other construction scholarships I recently announced.

These scholarships pay out at $10,000 each and last year our students won two of them.

So, if you meet these criteria you should apply:

1. You are a sophomore or junior this year.
2. You want to work in heavy civil construction (building infrastructure…pretty much everything EXCEPT buildings).
3. You have done OR ARE SCHEDULED TO DO an internship in the heavy civil construction industry. Check the companies that are in that industry here.

If you are at all not sure, ask Julian Yamaura or Steve Muench. We will help you out. These scholarships come directly from The Beavers and we want you to get one.    

Dear students,

Recognizing that the short turnaround may have limited the number of applications received, Coral Sales has asked us to extend the deadline for applying for the Coral Sales Scholarship. The new deadline is November 12. They intend to award two scholarships in the amount of $1000 each. 

The application comprises a one-page application form, a resume, and a one-page essay.

Coral Sales Co. funds two scholarships (each $1000) annually at the UW. There are some very specific eligibility criteria, including:

– must intend to pursue a career in highway/transportation engineering or highway construction, in the Pacific Northwest

– must have resided in the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID, MT, or AK) for the last six years

– senior or graduate student standing

Full criteria and application instructions, as well as the application form, are found in the attached documents. Continue reading →
