Diversity in Structural Engineering Scholarship Program Open

for Application

e NCSEA Diversity in Structural Engineering Scholarship Program, established by the NCSEA Foundation, awards funding to students who have been traditionally underrepresented in structural engineering (including but not limited to Black/African Americans, Native/Indigenous Americans, Hispanics/ Latinos or Spanish, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacic Islander, and other people of color, those with disabilities, veterans and LGBTQIA+). Multiple scholarships are presented annually to junior college students, undergraduate students, and/or graduate students pursuing degrees in structural engineering.

As we begin the 2023 scholarship season, three structural engineering rms, one structural engineering family, and one structural engineering council have generously provided funds to create even more opportunities for aspiring structural engineers in the form of named scholarships.

Entries are due March 20, 2023! Click this link to learn more and submit an application: http://www.ncsea.com/about/foundation/diversityscholarship
