Kiewit Scholarship

Kiewit Corporation is one of the largest and most respected construction and engineering organizations in North America. Kiewit leads, designs, and builds projects across the continent, including transportation (roads, bridges, rail), power (including renewable sources), buildings, water/wastewater, oil and gas, mining, and industrial facilities.
The Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program is intended to identify and inspire students to join this critically important industry. Please review the Kiewit Scholars program website for additional information.

1. Financial aid with an award value from $4,000 to $9,000 per academic year. Students who fulfil participation requirements in the Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program will have the opportunity to reapply to the program for subsequent years.
2. Kiewit Scholars Meetings: Professional development events, workshops, industry activities and site tours
3. The industry mentorship program (all students) and the peer-to-peer mentorship program (underclassmen paired with upperclassmen).
