ARTBA said in a statement that this program provides post-high school financial assistance to children of transportation construction workers killed or permanently disabled on the job.
That includes industry professionals who worked on projects in these sectors: airports, bridges, marine, ports and waterways, public transit, roads, railroads, tunnels, and utilities, the group noted.
Students must attend a post-secondary institution of learning that requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. This could include any four-year accredited public or private college or university; two-year accredited college; or vocational-technical college or training institution.
Graduate students who meet eligibility criteria are also able to apply. Scholarships have a value of up to $10,000 annually.
Applications are due April 3 and are available by clicking here.
Established in fall 1999 by Roanoke, VA-based contractors and brothers Stan and Jack Lanford, the fund has provided nearly $1 million in aid through 230 scholarships to students in 33 states.
