2025 Spring Scholarship Frequently Asked Questions

I MEET THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS, BUT am i eligible if…?

  • I’m graduating at the end of this spring?

    • If you’re an undergraduate student, YES! There’s nothing barring students who are about to graduate from applying!

  • I’m an environmental engineering major?

    • As long as you’re in the department of civil engineering at your school, YES!

Do you have requirements for…?

  • GPA?

  • Full-time/part-time status?

  • Heavy involvement with my ASCE student chapter?

  • Interest or research in specific areas of civil engineering?

  • Letters of recommendation?

The answer to all of the above is NO, we don’t have any requirements for the above! We may consider how involved you are in your student chapter, but all that’s required to apply is membership.

are there separate applications for each scholarship amount?

Nope! It’s a one and done kind of deal.

WHAT IF i CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE LUNCHEON?

We highly encourage students to be recognized at our April luncheon, but if you cannot make it due to prior commitments, we understand and that does NOT affect your eligibility to apply! We ask that all recipients send in a headshot and short bio regardless if they can attend in person so that they can be recognized by the branch.

what are the pros and cons of applying?

Pros:

  • Potential to receive $1,000, $1,500, or $2,500! It’s free money

  • Potential recognition from the Austin Branch members for your achievement at the April general meeting (and a free lunch)

  • There aren’t separate applications for each amount. Just one application and you’re done.

Cons:

  • May have to write a single page paper? (which should take less time than most of your engineering labs!!)
