Jim Donnelly Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is established in memory of James P. Donnelly, who was an alumnus of the CEE Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (BS 1983, MS 1985). In his 36-year career, Jim specialized in the investigation and repair of concrete structures and was a fellow of the Post-Tensioning Institute. He was well-known for his ready smile, his kind words, and his willingness to share knowledge and mentor younger staff. More than anything else, Jim was a very decent, hard-working and humble man who cared deeply about his family, his friends, his colleagues and others.

This scholarship is to be awarded to a CEE student with primary specialization in Structural Engineering.
