ACI Foundation Opportunities

The 2027–2028 cycle opened on 1 July 2026. ACI Foundation fellowships provide a US$10,000 educational stipend for tuition, residence, books and materials plus paid travel to two ACI Concrete Conventions under programme travel rules. ACI Foundation scholarships provide a US$5,000 educational stipend; two scholarships are paid in Canadian dollars. The Foundation also runs separate MENA and Saudi Arabia Student Excellence Awards through a different application route. This record covers the general Fellowships & Scholarships application rather than those region-specific excellence awards.

Applicants must be full-time students enrolled in a concrete-related degree during the 2027–2028 award cycle and be proficient in English. Fellowship applicants must attend an accredited institution in the United States or Canada during the award cycle. International students may apply for scholarships that are not region-specific, subject to the individual award rules. Applicants must submit two endorsements, including one from an ACI member; endorsers cannot be students or family members. Fellowship finalists must attend the spring ACI Concrete Convention for an in-person interview.
