Emergency Support for Steel Scholars
Tomorrow’s structural steel industry depends on the success of today’s students. But, the coronavirus pandemic has made it increasingly harder for students to realize their dreams. Lack of financial resources compounded with skyrocketing tuition costs has made it nearly impossible for many promising students to stay in school and focus on their studies.
AISC’s Education Foundation is dedicated to supporting tomorrow's leaders by helping the brightest students of today. On SteelDay 2020, AISC launched a 30-day fundraising campaign to raise money on behalf of the AISC Education Foundation to expand our scholarship programs. Our incredible industry met our call, and by the end of October, a total of $83,500 was raised to be awarded in time for the 2021 winter/spring term beginning this month.
Congratulations to the following 39 deserving AISC Scholarship recipients for the January 2021 term:
