All,

I share with you a great scholarship program available to CEE students that is accepting applications right now.  This scholarship program is:

UW Washington Asphalt Pavement Association Scholarships

The Washington Asphalt Pavement Association (WAPA), the professional trade organization for asphalt pavement contractors in Washington State, will be awarding at least 15 scholarships of at least $1,000 each for students in our department. This program, established in 2002 has awarded 770 scholarships totaling over $1,000,000 to students in the State of Washington just like you. So, they have been supporting folks like you for quite some time. Eligibility criteria are pretty broad and stated in the application itself.

Apply Here: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7731491/2024-WAPA-Scholarships

Applications Due: Friday, April 5^th, 2024

Helpful information

• All these scholarships go to students in our department only, so the chances of getting one are good
• The scholarships are awarded as checks directly to you
• The scholarship requires a 1-page personal statement and a current resume
• Direct any questions to Steve Muench and Julian Yamaura

All,

I share with you two scholarship programs available to CEE students who are seriously considering working in the heavy civil construction industry. Heavy civil construction means building infrastructure other than buildings. Many heavy civil companies regularly hire from our department. This is a good starter list to get an idea of who they are and what they do. These scholarship programs are:

Beavers Charitable Trust National Scholarship (awarding 20 scholarships of $10,000 each nationally)

The Beavers Charitable Trust, the heavy civil construction organization that sponsors Steve Muench’s and Julian Yamaura’s professorships, wants to award twenty $10,000 scholarships to students across their university network (the work with about 20 universities). This organization is intent on helping students who intend on working in their industry. You will see their eligibility requirements reflect this.

Women in Heavy Civil National Scholarship (awarding 3 scholarships of $10,000 each nationally)

Same organization, same general motivation, but this one is specifically for women (if you are a woman, you SHOULD apply for both scholarships, the work is nearly identical). The Beavers will award three scholarships of $10,000.

Good information to know about these scholarships Continue reading →

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.

Hi All,

Please see information below regarding a new scholarship opportunity for CEE students (with some preference for those who will pursue geotechnical careers). The application deadline is March 15.

HWA has established a scholarship to honor our friend and colleague Kris Purrier. More information about the scholarship is available in the link below, but it is available to undergrad and graduate students interested in civil or geotechnical engineering.
