Educational Trust General Scholarship
Spring applications will open April 1, 2025
This program awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students studying in the fields of geotechnical and foundation engineering at any U.S. college or university. As with all of the other DFI Educational Trust scholarship funds, the objective is to encourage and support students to pursue a career in the deep foundations industry. This scholarship is funded by individual and corporate donations to the DFI Educational Trust’s General Fund.
Since 2008, the Trust’s General Fund has awarded over $101,000 in scholarships to high school and college students.
Award
Several scholarships, ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 each will be awarded in 2025. Awards may be used for funding tuition, fees, books, and/or educational living expenses.
Scholarship check, payable to the student, will be sent in August 2025 after proof of enrollment and other required information is received by the DFI Educational Trust.
