ACEC of Tennessee Scholarship Program
The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Tennessee is proud to be a part of the national scholarship program set up by ACEC. It is another example of how ACEC and ACEC of Tennessee are committed to education and the future of our profession.
The 2010 ACEC of TN Scholarship winners were Paul A. Sparks, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, and Emily Epperson an undergraduate student at Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville. Sparks and Epperson will compete for national scholarships with students throughout the United States.
To qualify, a student must be a U.S. citizen pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctor of Philosophy degree in an engineering or land surveying program in Tennessee in a department that has at least one ABET-accredited program. Students must be entering their junior, senior, fifth, or graduate year in the fall of 2010 to qualify. A student's interest and commitment to the business and management of the profession are factors that will be considered and students are encouraged to reflect that throughout the application. Students are also encouraged to be as complete as possible while filling out the application.
The national scholarship winners will be announced by ACEC in October 2010. ACEC of Tennessee announced its scholarship winners in March 2010. ACEC (national) will award several scholarships (totaling $20,000), the Council of Structural Engineers of ACEC will award a $5,000 scholarship to a structural engineering student, and ACEC of Tennessee awarded two $1,000 scholarships.
The deadline for 2011 to submit an application to ACEC of Tennessee is January 28, 2011. The 2011 Scholarship ACEC of TN application will be posted later this year.
