Investing in the next generation

 

To continue meeting the widespread and varying demands of South Carolina’s aggregates industry, we must start equipping our future leaders. One of the ways SCAA is doing that is through awarding scholarships to individuals pursuing a career in the aggregates industry.

To be eligible, applicants must be admitted to an accredited institution of higher learning (technical school, community college or a four-year university/college). Eligible to employees of a member company who are going back to school to further their career or students that are pursuing a professional field of mineral extraction or one that supports this field.
