Overview
Thanks to support from the Trimmer Education Foundation, ABC is able to offer its students members an
essay contest awarded at the Student Career Conference. Three member schools are selected by a panel of reviewers to prepare and present papers on current "hot topics" in the construction industry.
Each winning school receives $1,000 to help fund student chapter activities. This is a great opportunity to develop your research, writing, and presentation skills!
Submissions are due in mid-January.
