Resources for Educators

Faculty members play an integral role at ACI and the way it administers its student programs. If you are an educator in a concrete industry-related department at a college or university, or are just interested in ACI in general, there are many ways you can get involved with ACI and help your students excel in their studies through free Student E-Membership, ACI Foundation Fellowships and Scholarships, and by getting involved with ACI's Faculty Network.

Free Student E-Membership

All full-time students are encouraged to become free Student E-Members and receive the benefits of ACI membership, plus electronic delivery of ACI products. Students are encouraged to complete a membership application. Please contact diane.baloh@concrete.org if your school would like promotional materials for recruiting ACI's Student E-Membership program.

ACI Foundation Fellowships and Scholarships

Every year, the ACI Foundation offers several Fellowships and Scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students studying concrete. To learn more about these opportunities, please visit the ACI Foundation Fellowships and Scholarships page.

Educators interested in promoting the ACI Foundation Fellowships and Scholarships are encouraged to download this promotional flyer to distribute to their students.

Information for Educators about ACI Foundation Fellowships

ACI Foundation Fellowship recipients are awarded a $7,000-$10,000 educational stipend, paid registration and travel expenses to two ACI conventions, assignment to an industry mentor, and a summer internship (if desired).

In order for a student to apply for an ACI Foundation Fellowship, he or she must first be nominated by a faculty member who is also an ACI member.
