Scholarship

ASHE Chesapeake is currently accepting scholarship applications!

ASHE Chesapeake is accepting scholarship applications, which are due March 30, 2024. Please see the application form for qualifications and requirements. ASHE Chesapeake intends to award four scholarships of $4000 each to qualified Maryland college students.

Proceeds from the 1993 National Conference, held in Baltimore, were used to initiate a scholarship program for college engineering students. The program was named for John Bruck, an SHA employee, who labored tirelessly during the 1993 National Conference to ensure all activity-related transportation needs were met.  John was a man of vision and held the highway industry dear to his heart.

The scholarships are awarded to students from each of the local engineering schools: Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland. The scholarship program is also supported by an annual golf outing.  The Chesapeake Section has awarded over $140,000 in scholarships since the program’s initiation.

To apply, you must be a sophomore or junior undergraduate student interested in pursuing a career in transportation, highway engineering, construction or a related field.  

For additional information on applying for the scholarship, reach out to Kathy Walsh.
