Some of the fellowships expect the awardee to complete a 10- to 12-week internship during the summer of 2024.
Those applicants chosen as a finalist for an ACI Foundation fellowship will be notified by February 4, 2024, and must be available to attend an interview with the Scholarship Council on Sunday, March 27, 2024, at the spring ACI Concrete Convention. ACI Foundation will pay for the flight, hotel, and registration, and will include a travel stipend.
All applicants must be proficient in the English language. If English is not your native language, you can upload a copy of your TOEFL score to your application. This is optional and not required.
The educational stipend is paid in two equal installments over one year directly to the student to cover expenses related to tuition, room and board, books, student fees, etc. Receipt of stipends is contingent upon attendance at scheduled ACI Concrete Conventions during the award cycle.
Fellowship awardees are expected to submit a written report near the end of their fellowship period describing the value of the fellowship to their personal development and their preparation for their chosen career after graduation.
