These scholarships provide money for college, paid summer employment while in school, and full-time employment after college graduation. This opportunity can’t be beat!! Applications are now being accepted and the deadline is March 1. Below you will find a brief description. More details and the applications can be found on our website at http://transportation.ky.gov/Education/Pages/Scholarships.aspx. Please contact me if you have any questions. The Civil Engineering Scholarship Program is for students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Western KY University, University of Louisville, or University of Kentucky.
