Scholarship: ASCE Michigan Section

The Michigan Section of the ASCE encourages the advancement of the Civil Engineering profession by qualified and interested students. To that end, the ASCE Michigan Section offers financial support through two scholarships. These scholarships have been endowed through the efforts and generosity of individual Civil Engineers and leading Civil Engineering companies throughout Michigan. Applications are due by Memorial Day.

Mackinac Scholarship

Named in honor of Michigan’s #1 Civil Engineering Project of the 20th Century by the ASCE Michigan Section membership in December 1999, the Mackinac Scholarship is intended to recognize a premier Civil Engineering student from Michigan. The award will be presented annually, and will consist of a two-year grant of $5,000 each year (totaling $10,000 over a two-year period) to a student entering his or her junior year at an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering program. The award considers merit, personal initiative, and financial need and encourages both participation in a student chapter of ASCE and contributions to the advancement of student engineering.

Zuidema Scholarship

Named in honor of an outstanding Past-President of the Michigan Section and the Western Michigan Branch of ASCE, the Marvin L. Zuidema Scholarship Award is presented annually to a student member of ASCE who has made a contribution to the advancement of student engineering activities. This award will consist of a one-time grant of $1,500, and considers academic performance as an indication of preparation for a future career in Civil Engineering. The Zuidema scholarship is available to either a junior or senior in an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering program.

Army ROTC Summer Leadership Opportunity

I hope this message finds you well. I can imagine you are busy as the school year wraps up. I am reaching out to pass along some information on Army ROTC’s Summer Leadership Program (Basic Camp). Michigan Tech has the ability to sponsor additional attendees, so any assistance in spreading the word is greatly appreciated! 

What is Summer Leadership Program (Basic Camp)?

This program is a month-long training held annually at Ft. Knox Kentucky. The program is designed to help college students experience Army ROTC and decide if it is something they would like to continue. Unlike the traditional Basic Training for enlistment, this program focuses on the leadership and critical thinking skills needed to succeed as an Army Officer. 

There is no commitment to enroll or complete ROTC, but those who complete and elect to continue can earn a $5,000 bonus / 2-Year Full Tuition Scholarship. There is no cost for the student to attend. 

Ideal candidates would be academic sophomores/juniors with two years remaining. There are certain eligibility requirements, such as U.S. citizenship and health standards. I am happy to provide additional details to anyone interested. 

Beyond this opportunity, please feel free to contact me with questions. We are proud to have the top ranked Army ROTC program in our region. Our Cadets have a near 100% placement rate into internships and their career branches of choice. While some choose to compete for Active Duty, we have a substantial number who serve part-time in a reserve component and pursue a career in the private sector. 

Best Regards,
