Idaho AGC Education Foundation Construction Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by AGC Idaho Chapter

Introduction
The Idaho Associated General Contractors (Idaho AGC) is the state’s largest and most trusted network of construction professionals. With more than 700 member companies, Idaho AGC members construct the commercial buildings, public works, schools, multi-family housing, retail and manufacturing facilities, and other community spaces where Idahoans live, work, play, worship, and educate their children. They also build and maintain the roads, bridges, airports, and utility systems that connect communities across the state.

About the Scholarship
Each year, thanks to contributions from its members, the Idaho AGC Education Foundation awards scholarships of up to $1,500 apiece to full-time students pursuing careers in the construction industry. Awards cover a single academic year, but recipients are eligible to reapply in subsequent years. Scholarships are administered by the Idaho AGC Education Foundation, a 401(c)3 charitable organization.
