The University of Akron (°µºÚ±¬ÁÏ) announced that members of the Committee for the Future of Civil Engineering (CFCE), a °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ advisory council whose mission is to attract and retain civil engineering students, donated more than $1,000,000 in scholarships since its inception in 2003 through the most recent campaign in 2022.

Since 2003, CFCE has awarded 370 scholarships to °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ students. The 2022-2023 academic year was also the biggest year in scholarship funding in the history of the committee, with nearly $80,000 in scholarships provided.

“The civil engineering scholarship program is important to me,” says Monica Moody, CFCE member and graduate of °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ’s civil engineering program. “As someone who received these scholarships, I want to recognize the hard work of °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ’s civil engineering students and pass on the gift of financial stability.”

CFCE has a history of success in supporting students at The University of Akron. Comprised of members of the region’s civil engineering community ranging from government to industry, the council is committed to providing scholarships, curriculum advisement, and being a source for competitive co-ops and good jobs for students.
