Students interested in pursuing a career in civil engineering or civil engineering technology are reminded to complete their KYTC Engineering Scholarship Program scholarship applications by Feb. 1.
The KYTC Engineering Scholarship Program includes the opportunity for paid summer employment and placement with KYTC in a full-time job upon graduation. Students agree to work one year for KYTC for each year of scholarship assistance. Students can use their award at any of the state’s engineering schools including the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Western Kentucky University or Kentucky State University.
In addition, KYTC and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) teamed to develop an associate degree program in civil engineering technology at two campuses – Bluegrass Community and Technical College in Lexington and Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg.
As with the civil engineering scholarship program, students who receive civil engineering technology scholarships agree to one year of work with KYTC for each year of school.
Complete information on the scholarship programs is available at http://transportation.ky.gov/Education/Pages/default.aspx.
The deadline for applications for both scholarship programs is February 1, 2016. Recipients will be notified in April.
