Purpose

The purpose of the ASA Graduate Scholarship Program is to attract, identify, and assist outstanding graduate students pursuing careers within the field of concrete with a significant interest in the shotcrete process.

Program Summary

The ASA Graduate Scholarships are available to applicants who have been accepted into a graduate program in the field of concrete at the time of application to an accredited college or university within the United States or at Laval University in Canada. To receive consideration for an ASA Graduate Scholarship, the applicant needs only to submit one application. Based on essays, submitted data, and references, the ASA Scholarship Committee will select scholarship recipients who appear to have the strongest combination of interest and potential for professional success in the shotcrete industry.

Two $3,000 (USD) awards are available through the American Shotcrete Association (ASA) for the 2009-2010 academic year. One scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student attending an accredited college or university within the United States and the second scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student attending Laval University in Canada.

Each ASA Graduate Scholarship award consists of a stipend of $3,000 (USD) and is paid in 2 installments of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500 USD) directly to the student's educational institution. The first payment will be made in the fall 2009 and the second in the early winter of 2010.
