Scholarship Opportunities
Strive to be nationally competitive in the engineering industry by attracting motivated civil engineering students pursuing their BSCE and retaining them as future employees by providing meaningful, on-the-job training through summer work experiences.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet awards 10 - 20 new Engineering Scholarships each year to qualifying students who are interested in attending the University of Kentucky (UK) or Western Kentucky University (WKU) or Louisville (U of L) J. B. Speed School of Engineering to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE). Students may also attend pre-engineering courses at Kentucky State University (KSU) or through the Kentucky Community and Technical College (KCTCS) system and finish their Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) at one of the accredited institutions.
This program began in 1948, and the KYTC has awarded nearly 1,700 scholarships, amounting to over $12 million in scholarships since its beginning. We now have 80 scholarship openings each year that are filled with returning students and new students. This scholarship can be worth up to $44,000!
