Every year, the ACEC California Scholarship Foundation seeks the best and brightest engineering and land surveying students in California and awards scholarships to them. Over the years, ACEC California has awarded over $650,000 in cash grants to hundreds of outstanding students.

Your donation to the Foundation is an important investment in the future of the engineering and land surveying professions. Helping today’s top students become tomorrow’s best engineers is crucial to our industry. As the cost of education continues to spiral upward, it is more important than ever that we lend a hand to those deserving young men and women. By donating to the Foundation, you will help attract and retain the most talented students to the professional engineering and land surveying professions. With your support, students aspiring to be the next generation of engineers and land surveyors will continue on their path towards entering the workforce knowing that the industry is already actively supporting their success.
