Every year the ASCE New Jersey Section awards scholarships to student members of ASCE who attend school or legally reside in the State of New Jersey. To this end, the Section solicits applications from any third-year undergraduate of a four-year BSCE program or any fourth-year undergraduate of a five-year BSCE program who will receive their baccalaureate degree within the academic year following the date of application for any of three scholarships.

Scholarship recipients are selected by our Scholarship Committee to receive an award based on how well they meet the eligibility criteria and the completeness of their application. Scholarship recipients are invited to attend an annual awards ceremony, usually in May, where their continued academic success is formally recognized.

 

Scholarships*

  • Arnold G. Taranto, PE Scholarship. This $2,500 scholarship is awarded to a student who meets certain eligibility criteria and has an outstanding academic record.

  • Jean G. Hansen, PE Scholarship. This $2,500 scholarship is awarded to a student who meets certain eligibility criteria and has an outstanding academic record.

  • Dr. R. John Craig Memorial Scholarship. This $2,500 scholarship is awarded to a student who meets the same criteria as the other two scholarships but is specifically enrolled at NJIT.

*Depending on the number of applications received, not all scholarships may be awarded each year. The Central Jersey Branch (CJB) may also offer a $2,500 scholarship. Students submitting the Arnold G. Taranto, PE Scholarship and Jean G. Hansen, PE Scholarship applications will automatically receive consideration for the CJB award.
