Grant W. Shaw Memorial Scholarship

Mr. and Mrs. V. Reed Shaw established the Grant W. Shaw Memorial Scholarship in 1987 in memory of their son, Grant, a 1973 civil engineering graduate.

The scholarship is awarded to an advanced undergraduate student with an expressed interest in highway engineering, as indicated by the courses completed or in progress. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage the candidate to continue studies and research in the transportation area.

The selection is made by faculty members in the transportation area of the civil engineering department, in consultation with a representative of the Schaumburg Chapter of the Illinois Association of Highway Engineers.

The award is divided into two equal payments: one during the Fall semester, and one during the Spring semester.
