Professor Peter S. Eagleson Memorial Scholarship

The intent of the Professor Peter S. Eagleson Memorial Scholarship is to provide aid to those that come from backgrounds that are under-represented in the civil engineering profession. This scholarship is overseen by the BSCES Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee for the benefit of eligible BSCES Student Members who are accepted for admission or enrolled in an undergraduate civil engineering program at a Commonwealth of Massachusetts college or university. This scholarship has a total value of $20,000, which will be awarded in two yearly payments of $10,000. This award may be used for tuition, books, housing, or other needs. To help ensure academic success, a BSCES leader will work with the recipient to provide academic and professional mentoring.
