Sponsored by the ARTBA Foundation – a 501(c) 3 tax-exempt entity designed to “promote research, education and public awareness” about the impacts of transportation investment – the program provides post-high school financial assistance of up to $10,000 annually to children of transportation construction workers killed or permanently disabled on the job.
This includes industry professionals who were working on projects specific to airports, bridges, marine, ports and waterways, public transit, roads, railroads, tunnels, and utilities, ARTBA noted in a statement.
Established in fall 1999 by Roanoke, Va., contractors and brothers Stan and Jack Lanford, the fund has provided more than $900,000 in aid to nearly 225 students in 33 states from 2000-2024.
To be eligible for this scholarship program, students must attend a post-secondary institution of learning that requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. This could include any public or private four-year accredited college or university; two-year accredited college; or vocational-technical college or training institution. Graduate students who meet the eligibility criteria are also able to apply, ARTBA said.
Applications are due Friday, April 4, and are available at https://artbatdf.org/scholarships-awards/lanford-scholarship/
