CMACN Concrete Masonry Scholarships for Architecture, Construction Management, and Engineering Students
Offered by Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada (CMACN)
About This Scholarship
The Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada, the trade group for the region's concrete block producers, awards scholarships to university students who study concrete block masonry as a building material. Awards for four-year architecture, construction management, and engineering students run $1,000 to $1,500 each.
CMACN reviews applications four times a year, so students do not have to wait for a single annual deadline. The next cutoff is the winter round, with applications postmarked by December 7, 2026. Winners also receive a copy of the TMS Masonry Designers' Guide and CMACN's California-Nevada supplement.
The program is limited to students at colleges and universities in California or Nevada, and recipients must return to a California or Nevada school the semester after their award. Students may receive only one CMACN scholarship per calendar year. Applicants download a program-specific application letter (architecture, construction management, or engineering) and mail it in.
