Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada, a nonprofit organization, is pleased to announce we have continued our scholarship program in 2025, open year-round, for graduate and undergraduate level engineering students who study concrete masonry as a subject at a four-year university in California or Nevada.
As an association of concrete masonry block manufacturers, CMACN’s mission is to strengthen the masonry industry in California and Nevada by providing technical information resources on concrete masonry for design professionals, protect and advance the interests of the concrete masonry industry, develop new and existing markets for concrete masonry products, and coordinate our members’ efforts in solving common problems within the masonry industry. CMACN develops, monitors, and coordinates test programs, research projects, and specification updates. We publish technical and educational data, and both receive and disseminate recommendations for improved product use. To this end, we have established a scholarship program in order to promote the study of concrete masonry as a subject in California and Nevada.
The Engineering Scholarship amount is $1000 to $1,500 per recipient, and the annual Legacy Memorial Scholarship amount is $4,000. There is no predetermined number of Engineering scholarship awardees; selections are determined by application question responses. There is to be only one annual award of the Legacy Memorial Scholarship per calendar year which will be awarded to a student who has already successfully engaged in and contributed to the concrete masonry block industry during their college experience through employment, a cooperative work experience, or internship with a California or Nevada masonry contractor or one of CMACN’s Producer Member companies.
Requests for these scholarships should be submitted via email or USPS mail on the attached applications and include at least one dated and signed departmental recommendation.
Legacy Memorial Scholarship applicants must also include at least one dated and signed recommendation from the direct supervisor at place of industry experience. All letters of recommendation will only be accepted from the recommender, not from the applicant. Scholarship recipient must return to a California or Nevada university the following semester as an engineering student. To be considered for a specific scholarship, applications must be postmarked no later than the closure dates listed below:
