About this scholarship
Connecticut residents entering college-level programs in architecture, construction-related engineering, construction management, surveying, planning, or other construction fields may apply for Connecticut Building Congress Scholarship Fund awards.
Five scholarships have recently ranged from $3,000 to $8,000 per year and may renew for up to five years based on academic performance and continued study in a construction-related major. Recipients and up to two family members are invited to the annual Project Team and Scholarship Awards Banquet.
The fund encourages Connecticut students of all backgrounds to pursue careers in the construction industry.
