The ACI Foundation offers a variety of Fellowship and undergraduate Scholarship opportunities for students and E-Members. Students who have a love for concrete are awarded Fellowships and Scholarships from the ACI Foundation every year to help them reach their academic and professional goals. The student must be registered full-time as an undergraduate or graduate student during the award year, as determined by the institution or university. Although we will accept applications from everywhere in the world, the award year’s study must take place in the United States or Canada.

Application Deadline: 1st November, 2023.
Eligible Countries: All

All fellowships and scholarships will have a single online application. The form will automatically show the fellowships and scholarships for which you might qualify once you’ve provided the necessary information. Have the answers to the following questions prepared before starting the application:

If in-person interviews can not occur, the process will be virtual.
