AISC to offer $135,500 in student scholarships for 2013-2014 academic year


By AISC | March 1, 2013

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), in conjunction with several of its structural steel industry partners, is offering $135,500 in scholastic aid for the 2013-2014 academic year. This year's variety of programs offers opportunities to more students than ever before. For full eligibility requirements and to submit an online application form, visit www.aisc.org/scholarships.

"AISC and its members understand the life-changing affects that a little assistance can have on the futures of college students. We are pleased to be able to offer students the opportunity to receive financial assistance through our Scholarship programs," commented Nancy Gavlin, AISC's director of education.

This year's scholarship programs include:

AISC David B. Ratterman Fast Start Scholarships
Award: $40,000 in awards total

Now in its second year, the AISC David B. Ratterman Fast Start Scholarships are for freshmen and sophomore students who either share a permanent residence or are the children of employees at AISC member companies including fabricators, service centers and producers. The program is designed to help students of hardworking employees of steel facilities who want to go to college.

Last year, one applicant, an honors student in need of financial assistance, wrote: "Both of my parents work for an AISC member. The construction field has suffered tremendously over the last few years. [ The company ] being an AISC member, I believe, has allowed my parents to keep working in this difficult time. The fact that [ the company ] is an AISC member, means that they work hard, follow procedures, maintain records and put out a high-quality product that they and their customers can be proud of."

New this year, the Fast Start Scholarships are open to students at two-year colleges in addition to four-year colleges.
