The Pipe Line Contractors Association (PLCA) Scholarship Foundation, a private foundation established by the PLCA, has established the C. Paul Evans PLCA Scholarship Program to assist children, stepchildren, or grandchildren of full-time non-bargaining unit employees of Regular or Associate Members of the PLCA. Renewable scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited four-year college or university or graduate school of the student’s choice.
This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Applicants to the C. Paul Evans PLCA Scholarship Program must be:
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an $8,000 award. Up to twenty (20) awards will be granted. No more than 25% of eligible applicants will be awarded per IRS Revenue Procedure 76-47.
Two (2) of the twenty scholarships awarded will be made to applicants who have Engineering and/or Construction Management major listed on their application. If there are no applicants with either major listed, these two scholarships will revert back to the original selection process. Only one (1) award per PLCA Member Company per year.
Awards are renewable up to three years on the basis of satisfactory academic performance and maintaining full-time enrollment at a four-year college, university or graduate school. No recipient may receive more than $32,000 in total (including renewals).
