Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Fund

ARTBA’s Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to help the children of highway workers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty pursue post high school education. The scholarship program was launched in October 1999 through a generous $100,000 gift and is supported by contributions from highway construction industry executives and firms nationwide.

ARTBA-TDF competitive scholarships are awarded annually & have a value up to $2,000. The applicant must use the scholarship award to attend a postsecondary institution of learning that requires a high school diploma or G.E.D. for admission. This could include any public or private: (a) four-year accredited college; (b) two-year accredited college; or (c) vocationaltechnical training institution.

Applications must be postmarked by April 15, 2005. Awards will be made on or before May 15. For more information and application forms go to www.artba.org/foundation/hwy_worker_scholarship.htm
