Three scholarships of $1,000 each will be awarded, and the deadline to apply is February 5, 2007. The program is open to students and construction industry professionals, with funds to be used for higher-education tuition or the purchase of tools to improve worker productivity. The annual scholarship was launched in 2001 to provide information about the construction industry and its career opportunities to students, teachers, counselors and parents. It was developed by three industry trade groups: the Associated Equipment Distributors Foundation, the Associated General Contractors of America and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
