The 2024-2025 ACEC/Michigan scholarship application is now available. We are pleased to provide students with an all-digital scholarship application process again this year, which allows students to save and work on the application over time as well as apply for multiple scholarships they may be eligible for with one application. 

The ACEC/Michigan scholarship is open to students who have lived, worked, or gone to school in Michigan. The student must have worked for a consulting engineering, surveying, or architectural/engineering firm within the past 24 months. The criteria is based on GPA, work experience, school or work references, and community activities. Applicants must also write an essay answering the question provided.

Last year, we awarded $20,000 in scholarship money divided between 6 students. Due to the generous contribution of Professional Concepts Insurance Agency (PCIA), an additional $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to a deserving engineering student who demonstrates exemplary community service. All applications submitted for the ACEC/Michigan scholarship are evaluated for this additional award.  

We would appreciate the distribution of the scholarship application to any students you know of who may be eligible, including your firm’s summer interns.

The application portal link is: https://acecinstitute.awardspring.com/. The deadline to apply is Friday, January 3, 2025. Scholarship awards will be presented at the 60th Annual Engineering & Surveying Awards Gala on March 8. 

Thank you,

WTBA awards two $5,000 Engineering Scholarships and two $3,000 Engineering Tech Scholarships each January at our Contractor-Engineer Conference.  Winners are encouraged to attend the ceremony for special recognition.

Students studying civil engineering, construction management, engineering tech, and other transportation construction-related fields are welcome to apply.

While most candidates fall into those fields of study and/or on our listed universities, colleges, and tech schools, any student who can demonstrate a clear interest in a potential career in the industry is also encouraged to apply.

Applications open Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024.  They’ll stay open until Friday, Nov. 15, 2024 but we encourage applicants to submit their forms and required documents early.  Last year, we saw double the number of typical applications.

More information and the application link are available at: wtba.org/scholarships/

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I also ask you to send this message along to anyone in your department who I may have missed.  Apologies if you received this by mistake – I’m casting a fairly wide net.

Best,

My name is Danielle Coppersmith, Manager of Communications and Events for the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association. I’m reaching out to you today in hopes that you can help spread the word to potential applicants about the MITA Scholarship Fund. 

The MITA Scholarship Fund offers financial support to individuals hoping to pursue a career in the heavy construction industry. This scholarship is not only available for students who may be looking to get a 4-year degree in engineering, construction management, etc. but also for those who are looking to attend a trade school. Anything heavy construction related. In an effort to get the word out to more potential applicants, I am wondering if you could add our link to a page of available scholarships on your website (if applicable) and share it with your department heads to share with students who would qualify and benefit. 

You can learn more about the scholarship here.  

Thanks so much for your time and consideration and please let me know if you have any questions (Danielle Coppersmith <daniellecoppersmith@thinkmita.org>).
