SCCA Scholarship Awards Help Students Majoring in Construction Industry Fields

About the scholarship

The purpose of the SCCA Scholarship Fund is to encourage and assist engineering- and construction-oriented students as they pursue education in those fields at accredited schools. SCCA’s goal is to grow the pool of work professionals and keep our industry moving forward. Awarding scholarships to college students who meet the criteria assists them in the process as they go to school and on to industry careers.

Funding that helps put this program in place is provided in part by the Construction Industry Advancement Fund (CIAF), the Fund for Construction Industry Advancement (FCIA), the Mobile Crane Operators Group (MCOG), and contributions made by our very own members.
