- For 2026, we are using an online portal through the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Research Institute in Washington DC. Students can apply directly on the portal for ACEC Scholarships and/or for the ACEC/MA EC Presidents’ Scholarship, the Nitsch Engineering-Judith Nitsch Scholarship, and other Massachusetts scholarships on the portal.
Students then may be directed to apply for a range of other national scholarships based on financial need or their areas of concentration. The portal streamlines the process for applying for a range of scholarships.
We’re excited that NCEES, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying, is working with the ACEC Research Institute to award 1 additional scholarship to a student in each state this year.
In addition to ACEC Membership Organization scholarships like ours in the ACEC Research Institute scholarship portal, qualified students have access to approximately 100 other scholarships in the portal totaling half a million dollars in grants. If you receive a message in the portal that you are eligible to apply for additional scholarships, please look at those options too!
