The NCSEA Foundation is proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 Diversity in Structural Engineering Scholarships, awarding a total of $69,750 to 20 students pursuing careers in structural engineering.
These scholarships, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, support historically underrepresented students entering the structural engineering profession and reflect the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to strengthening and diversifying the future of the industry.
In addition to financial support, scholarship recipients will also receive the opportunity to attend the NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit, helping connect emerging professionals with leaders, mentors, and peers from across the profession. Travel stipends supporting recipients’ Summit attendance are generously funded by Computers & Structures, Inc. (CSI).
The NCSEA Foundation extends its sincere congratulations to all 20 scholarship recipients for their achievements, leadership potential, and dedication to the future of structural engineering.
