2016-2017 Student Scholarships
Our section is lucky enough to have numerous respected engineering universities within our boundaries, and these university branches are very active ASCE groups. Each of our partnering universities is involved in the concrete canoe competition and attends the Eastern Regional Younger Member Council (ERYMC) conference. These students are our next ASCE leaders and we're proud of the accomplishments that they bring to our organization.
