ACI Foundation, a wholly-owned and non-profit subsidiary of the American
Concrete Institute (ACI), announces the opening of its student Fellowship and
Scholarship program for the 2011-2012 academic year.
This year, the ACI Foundation is offering eight Fellowships for undergraduate

high-potential undergraduate and graduate students who are studying
engineering, construction management, or other related fields of study in the
area of concrete. Fellowship applicants must be nominated by a faculty member
who is also an ACI member to be considered for these awards. Those students
receiving Fellowships also receive paid travel and registration to two ACI
Conventions, assignment to an industry mentor, and a summer internship, in some
cases. Available Fellowships include the ACI Presidents’ Fellowship, ACI Baker

Richard N. White Student Fellowship, ACI BASF Construction Chemicals Student
