Other ASCE Scholarships
The Michigan Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) encourages the advancement of the Civil Engineering profession by qualified and interested students. To that end, the ASCE Michigan Section offers financial support through two scholarships. The Mackinac scholarship is available to Michigan residents entering their junior year. The Zuidema scholarship is available to either a junior or senior in an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering program. These scholarships have been endowed through the efforts and generosity of individual Civil Engineers and leading Civil Engineering companies throughout Michigan. Both awards require the applicant to obtain a letter of support from either the Faculty Advisor to the ASCE Student Chapter or the Civil Engineering Department Head to confirm outstanding performance and advancement in the field of Civil Engineering.
Mackinac Scholarship
Named in honor of Michigan’s #1 Civil Engineering Project
of the 20th Century by the ASCE Michigan Section membership
in December 1999, the Mackinac Scholarship is intended to
recognize a premier Civil Engineering student from Michigan.
The award will be presented annually, and will consist of
a two-year grant of $2,500 each year (totaling $5,000 over
a two-year period) to a student entering his or her junior
year at an ABET-accredited Civil Engineering program. The
award considers merit, personal initiative and financial need
and encourages both participation in a student chapter of
ASCE and engineering activity outside of classroom work as
evidence of serious preparation for future professional employment.
