High school and college students seeking financial assistance to offset high costs for post-secondary education may qualify to apply for scholarships from two PDCA Chapters. The PDCA Pacific Coast Chapter and the PDCA Texas Chapter each offer scholarship awards to students who are pursuing educational programs geared toward eventual careers in the construction industry. Such programs could be through universities, technical colleges or vocational schools and they must prepare students in curricula such as construction management, engineering, occupational safety, accounting or similar lines of study. Both scholarship programs are independently administered through the respective Chapters and some applicant rules and restrictions may be slightly different. Make sure you read through the scholarship materials from each Chapter, found in the links below. If you have, or know of a student from Texas or from the Western U.S. who is interested in an eventual career in the deep foundation construction industry, consider sharing the following scholarship opportunities from PDCA Chapters with them:
