ASCE LIFE MEMBER SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Dear Life Members:

 

We know how important the future of Civil Engineering is to you. Building a legacy of a strong sustainable infrastructure is of the utmost importance to every one of us. The ways we can work toward this goal include encouraging our student members through mentoring and by supporting them in completing their academic careers through scholarships. There are eleven student chapters in the LA Section with about 2,400 student members, and most of them need help with their student expenses.

 

ASCE Life Member Forum has established an annual scholarship fund that will be sustained by annual donations from ASCE LA Section Life Members. Our goal is to grant annual scholarships of up to $10,000, in any given year. In addition to making tax-deductible donations, we will encourage our Life Members to help review and select the applicant(s) that are most qualified to build a sustainable world through innovation and resiliency.

 

Please consider donating to our Life Member Scholarship Fund. You will receive a thank you letter providing proof of your tax-deductible gift (Tax ID 95-2594246). Send your check to: ASCE LA Section, 360 E. First St., #992, Tustin, CA 92780, with “LMF Scholarship” written on the memo line.

 

Thank you in advance for considering a donation to help future Civil Engineers complete their education.

 

Sincerely,

Mark Komoto

ASCE Los Angeles Section

Life Member Forum Chairman
