Applications being accepted now for engineering scholarships through KYTC

The Kentucky Governor’s Office is now accepting applications for aspiring engineers and construction managers, with up to 25 scholarships being made available to those students.

This will be a highly competitive scholarship opportunity, with the Civil Engineering Scholarship, the Civil Engineering Technology Scholarship and the Construction Management Scholarship all up for grabs. More than 2,000 students have received approximately $20 million from the Civil Engineering Scholarship Program since it began in 1948.

All three types of scholarships include summer employment and job placement at KYTC after graduation. Scholarship recipients agree to work for KYTC for a year for every year they received the scholarship

Up to 25 scholarships will be awarded for the 2026-2027 academic year by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. 

Scholarship recipients will be notified in April. For applications, go online to transportation.ky.gov/education
