2018 ICI Scholarship Application Open

Posted on by Andria Hine

The application for the Indiana Constructors, Inc. Scholarship, administered by the Central Indiana Community Foundation has opened for the 2018-2019 school year. The application deadline is Tuesday, February 6, 2018.

Indiana Constructors, Inc. and its members created the Indiana Constructors, Inc. Scholarship in 1998 to assist students interested in pursuing a career in the highway, bridge and/or utility construction industry. Over the years, our members have generously donated more than $400,000, including the proceeds from our annual golf outings. Last year ICI awarded 10 scholarships, totaling $35,000 – as much as $5,000 per award.

The scholarship is open to Indiana residents attending Hoosier colleges, universities or vocational, technical or trade schools. Applicants must plan to pursue — or currently be pursuing — a degree related to highway, bridge and/or the utility construction industry, have a GPA of 2.5 or higher and demonstrate talent and skill through participation in community and school activities and work experience.
