AGC of Missouri University Scholarship
Offered by AGC of Missouri Education Foundation
About This Scholarship
The AGC of Missouri Education Foundation pools several named awards — the Aaron Loehr YEC Memorial and Young Exec scholarships from its Young Executives Club, the Oliver J. Coulson and Mike Smalley memorials from its Construction Leadership Council, and multiple general Education Foundation scholarships — behind one university scholarship application. Submit once, and the foundation considers you for every award in the pool.
The geography is more flexible than the name suggests: applicants must attend full time at a college or university in Missouri or in any state contiguous to Missouri, which brings schools in Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky into play. The field of study must be construction or construction-related, applicants must be pursuing a four-year degree, and the foundation wants to see genuine intent to work in the construction industry after graduation.
The application runs on an unusual calendar for this category — it opens in August and closes December 31 — so fall semester is exactly the right time to apply. Candidates submit transcripts and two letters of recommendation along with the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to attend school in Missouri?
Not necessarily. Full-time students at eligible schools in Missouri or any contiguous state (Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky) qualify.
Do I apply separately for each named scholarship?
No. One application puts you in consideration for all of the foundation's university scholarships, including the Young Executives Club and Construction Leadership Council memorial awards.
I'm going to trade school — can I use this application?
No. The university scholarship requires a four-year degree track. Trade school, certificate, and apprenticeship students should apply for the foundation's separate Trade Apprenticeship and Technical Education Scholarship instead.
