The National Capital Chapter presents up to 10 scholarships each year ranging from $1,000-$2,500, however many times there are very few applicants. This is a good opportunity as a CMAA scholarship/internship can make your resume stand out, and funds can be used to cover books, lab fees, etc.  For more information about CMAA scholarship and internship opportunities, see the links below:

Deadline for submissions is March 13, 2015.

Eligibility Criteria

• Must have completed a minimum of one full academic year of studies, and must have a minimum of one full academic year remaining prior to completing the degree being pursued.

The Wire Reinforcement Institute (WRI) Education Foundation is sponsoring scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 for beginning and continuing engineering students seeking undergraduate or graduate degrees in civil or structural engineering. As the concrete construction industry’s leading advocate for structural welded wire reinforcement (SWWR), WRI knows the value of a well reinforced foundation, whether it’s to support a building or build a career.

The Rotary District 6220 Global Scholar Program provides $30,000 scholarship awards for graduate studies outside the USA.  Scholars must commence studies between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 and expend the scholarship funds within 12 months of starting studies.

In anticipation of The Rotary Foundation’s (TRF) 100-year anniversary in 2017, the TRF Trustees set out to develop a plan to move the foundation toward its second century of service. The plan, called the Future Vision Plan, focuses TRF-funded programs to specific areas where they will have the greatest impact by addressing priority world needs that are presently most relevant to Rotarians.

As a result, to be eligible for a Rotary District 6220 Global Grant Scholarship, an applicant must have a background, intended graduate studies and future career plans related to at least one of the following focus areas:

• Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution
• Disease Prevention and Treatment
• Water and Sanitation
• Maternal and Child Health
• Basic Education and Literacy
• Economic and Community Development

Prequalification Applications must be submitted by March 31, 2015.
Further information, including the “Prequalification Application,” and additional requirements, can be found on the District 6220 website.
