Serving the industry by establishing and distributing fellowships and scholarships to high potential students in concrete-related graduate and undergraduate degree programs.
Changes to our Program:
The ACI Foundation would like to judge your application amongst your closest peers. To do this we would like to understand your long-term career aspirations and whether you consider yourself on the Academic/Researcher or Practitioner track after you have earned all your college degree(s). Selecting a long-term career track will not limit your eligibility to apply for either fellowships or scholarships that meet your qualifications. Dividing applicants into groups will also help the ACI Foundation match students with appropriate fellowships that may include internships that will be awarded before the ACI Spring Convention.
