Scholarship Application
for Civil Engineering Students Entering Graduate School in the
Academic Year 2009 – 2010
ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling, through its Industry Advancement Fund, invites applications to apply for a $3,000 graduate scholarships from United States and Canadian citizens for graduate study in geotechnical or structural engineering. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an ABET or CEAB accredited engineering program or be a graduate from such a program, and must plan to enter or continue graduate school during the current academic year. A minimum of fourteen scholarships will be awarded for the academic year beginning in the Fall of 2009. Full-time students are defined as being enrolled in 12 or more graduate school hours a semester. Part-time students are those enrolled in less than 12 graduate school hours, who also must work full- or part-time. In addition to the scholarship, winners will be flown (travel and lodging expenses paid) to the ADSC Annual Meeting, and be formally introduced to the membership.
Each full-time scholarship recipient will be paid in two equal installments of $1,500 (one for the Fall 2009 semester and one for the Spring 2010 semester), and will include liaison opportunities with ADSC contractor members near the recipient’s graduate school. Payments will be made upon receipt of evidence of current enrollment as a regular full-time student in good academic standing in a geotechnical or structural engineering program at the Masters level or higher.
Part-time scholarship recipients will receive $500 per semester (to a maximum of $3,000) as long as the student is enrolled in part-time graduate engineering courses. Payments will be made each semester upon receipt of evidence of current enrollment as a student in good academic standing in a geotechnical or structural engineering program at the Masters or higher level. Special consideration and attention will be paid to past and present work experience. In order to make payments, additional information (such as social security number) may be required of the scholarship recipients.
Submit your application on the forms provided in this packet. To be considered, all application materials, including academic transcripts and letters of reference, must be received at ADSC Headquarters in Dallas, Texas, by April 1, 2009. Applications must be typewritten.
Order a current, official transcript of your academic records and have it sent directly to ADSC Headquarters. Transcripts should be the most current available and include all of your undergraduate work.
Request two letters of reference from persons familiar with your academic or professionally related experience. Write your name on the outside of business size (#10) envelopes and have those writing letters of reference enclose them in these envelopes, seal the flap, and sign across it. Submit both sealed reference letters with your application. If you would like to submit reference letters electronically, please have the letter’s author email the letter directly to Susan King, ADSC Scholarship Administrator, at sesking@adsc-iafd.com.

ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling is an organization of contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers in the foundation drilling and anchored earth retention system industries. ADSC’s goals for industry improvement recognize the need to invest in education and research and thus the Industry Advancement Fund was formed in 1986. Over the past twenty-three years, 247 scholarships have been awarded. These scholarships are intended to stimulate the involvement of highly qualified engineers in the industry, and the use and research of drilled shafts and anchored earth retention systems.
