The ACI Foundation, a wholly owned, nonprofit subsidiary of the American Concrete Institute, has announced the opening of its student Fellowship and Scholarship program for the 2010-2011 academic year. The ACI Foundation is offering eight fellowships for undergraduate and graduate students and five scholarships for graduate students studying concrete. Funds come from private and corporate donors.
ACI Foundation Fellowships range from $7,000 to $10,000 and are awarded to high-potential undergraduate and graduate students who are studying engineering, construction management, or other concrete-related fields of study. To be considered, fellowship applicants must be nominated by a faculty member who is also an ACI member. ACI Foundation Scholarships, in the amount of $3,000, are awarded to graduate students studying concrete-related subjects.
Applicants must study at a United States or Canadian university during the award year. The application process is open through Oct. 30, 2009.
