MANHATTAN — A pair of Kansas State University engineering students each received $10,000 in scholarships from the American Council of Engineering Companies, or ACEC, for their academic excellence and dedication to the field of engineering.
Gwyn Roberts, senior in civil engineering, Lee's Summit, Missouri, was awarded the IMEG Engineering Scholarship in the amount of $10,000.
Eric Perez Galeana, senior in architectural engineering, Garden City, received the $5,000 NCEES Professional Licensure Scholarship and the $5,000 Kimley-Horn Diversity in STEM Scholarship.
The ACEC Research Institute awards scholarships to make engineering careers more accessible to students and to address the engineering workforce shortage.
"The ACEC Research Institute is committed to supporting students who are passionate about engineering but may face financial challenges," said Mike Carragher, chair of the ACEC Research Institute. "By providing these scholarships, we are investing in the future of our profession and ensuring that talented individuals are empowered to pursue their dreams."
