Scholarship Program

The Forum Board of Directors voted to award tuition scholarship for the year 2010 to deserving Rice School of Engineering students.  The funding of these awards was possible though funding coming from the Forum’s Contractor and Associate Membership annual dues and income from attendance at our Monthly Roundtables and Annual Forum.

Partial tuition scholarships for the 2010-11 academic year – from $1000 to $7500 !
Application Deadline: March 12, 2010
Scholarship Notification: by April 9, 2010

Priority will be given to School of Engineering professional masters or terminal research masters students with potential interest in the engineering and construction industry. Seniors for 2010-11 will be considered if their interest in the industry is high and/or if the applicant pool at the masters level is low.

Application process:

• Submit a cover letter to Nancy Tucker (nancyt@rice.edu) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Ryon Lab 204 – MS 318).  The cover letter needs to contain:

  • a brief paragraph stating the reasons why you think you are deserving of the award

  • also state your career interests, academic objectives, likely coursework during 2010-11, research objectives if applicable, and any committed or likely financial support from Rice or other scholarship sources.
     

• Attach an unofficial Rice transcript through the first semester of 2009-10.

Congratulations to our 2009 Scholarship Recipients!
