THE CIVIL ENGINEERING GATEWAY SCHOLARSHIP

Description:

The goal of the Civil Engineering Gateway Scholarship is to recruit outstanding SBU undergraduate students to pursue an MS degree in civil engineering at SBU with the additional opportunity of linking their graduate education with an industry engineering experience. The scholarship consists of a $5,000 award for use towards tuition costs during one academic year (two semesters). The scholarship will be split and awarded each academic semester. Two awards per year are estimated.

The Gateway Scholarship is in partnership with H2M Engineers and Architects.
