2025 Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School

Next summer, Los Alamos National Laboratory will be hosting the twenty-sixth edition of the Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School (LADSS) – a 10-week research and education program held in Los Alamos, NM.  Links to information is available at https://ladss.lanl.gov, including payment information for the fellowship appointment and instructions on how to apply. 

We are seeking students with academic focuses in engineering (including mechanical, aerospace, structural, civil, electrical, and nuclear), as well as those in computer science, physics, and applied math. Please pass this solicitation on to prospective students and directly encourage those which you feel are well suited for the program to apply. Offer letters will be given to accepted applicants on a rolling basis throughout the early application period, so we encourage students to apply early to have the greatest chance of securing a position in the program. All applications submitted November 1, 2024 – January 6, 2025 will be reviewed after the application cycle closes.

The primary goal of LADSS is to motivate U.S. citizens to attend graduate school. Therefore, the students you solicit need to be U.S. citizens, and they should be of sufficient academic standing to be credible candidates for graduate school. As a reference point, the 400+ students that have taken part in the first twenty-four schools had undergraduate GPA’s ranging from 3.0 – 4.0, with a mean undergraduate GPA of approximately 3.8.

2024-2025 ACEC/Michigan scholarship

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,
