Those students eligible to apply for a scholarship must be full-time civil engineering students who have completed their freshman year, have a satisfactory grade point average, are in good academic standing with the university and demonstrate some financial need. Scholarships are awarded in consideration of accomplishments in student, community, honorary or service organizations, excellence in academics and demonstrated leadership qualities.

All applicants are received by a committee comprised of faculty members from the Departments of Civil Engineering at Auburn University and the University of Alabama. The committee usually selects three to five applicants for each scholarship to be awarded. The applicants are submitted to the Ed and Charlotte Rodgers Scholarship Fund trustees for review. The trustees in turn recommend their selection(s) to the Alabama Road Builders Association board of directors for final approval.

To apply for a scholarship, complete the application form and return it to the Alabama Road Builders Association. Additional application forms can be obtained from the Civil Engineering Departments at Auburn University and the University of Alabama. Applicants must include a recent photograph and a one-page letter about yourself including the reason you are applying. The deadline for application is April 1. Recipients will be notified by July 1. Final candidates in the selection process may be invited to Montgomery for a personal interview.

All winning scholarship recipients are invited to attend the annual Alabama Road Builders Association Luncheon in September to be presented to the full membership in recognition of their outstanding academic achievements.
