Portland Cement Association

The Portland Cement Association has established a new foundation to help finance education programs in nearly every facet of the cement industries, from university research fellowships to career recruitment and craft training. The foundation's initial annual budget will be $285,000, which will be used to provide direct educational grants for student scholarships, fellowships, and university professorships with a focus on increasing the use of cement and concrete; sponsor educators and students attending cement- and concrete- related workshops and seminars; and develop educational courses, programs, materials, internships, and international exchanges.
