Introduction

AACE International is dedicated to advancing the study of cost engineering, and cost management through the integrative process of total cost management. To promote this objective, AACEi awards academic scholarships to full-time students pursuing a related degree in engineering, construction management, building construction, computer sciences, business, quantity surveying, information technology, etc.

The cost engineering profession uses the process of total cost management to identify and define those areas of business in which the discipline of cost engineering and cost management principles may be applied to plan and control resources, assets, costs, profitability and risk. The major elements of the cost engineering discipline include estimating, project/product controls, planning and scheduling, business sciences, and project/product management.

Scholarship Descriptions

AACE International scholarships are available in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $8,000. Specific awards will be determined based on your overall scholarship and collegiate accomplishments.

Local AACEi Section scholarships may also be available, with a possible 50% match from AACE International.

Eligibility

Applicants must be currently enrolled full-time students. If in their final undergraduate year, they must have been accepted to attend a full-time graduate program in the next academic year.

Applications

The revised AACE International Competitive Scholarship Program is now online. Applications will be accepted between January 1st and February 15th each year. Applications may be submitted online as well as through the mail, but all applications will be sent to the AACEi Headquarters rather than the local AACEi section.

Local Scholarships Also Available!

The North Florida AACEi Section offers scholarship monies tied to local AACEi applicants and awards.

These may also qualify for additional 50% matching funds from AACEi.
