Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program

Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program

Innovate from the ground up.

The Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program is a year-long scholarship program at the University of Colorado Boulder that seeks to engage engineering students in meaningful conversations about their future careers.

This program combines scholarship assistance with experiential learning opportunities to ignite students’ passion for the infrastructure industry. As a part of this program students can expect to participate in jobsite tours, mentorship programs, hands-on learning experiences, presentations, workshops, networking, and much more. Thanks to our partner, Kiewit, we are able to connect the Kiewit Design Build Scholars Program cohort to resources that will help them develop pertinent industry skills and knowledge sets. Application to this program is open to all College of Engineering and Applied Science students with an interest in infrastructure design, engineering, and construction.
