Graduate and undergraduate students pursuing building-related studies for the 2009-2010 academic year must apply for a Herman J. Smith Scholarship by Monday, May 4.
The Herman J. Smith Scholarship Fund, honoring 1981 NAHB President Herman J. Smith, provides assistance to graduate and undergraduate students studying construction management, mortgage finance and related fields. Last year, 12 students were awarded scholarships totalling $24,000.
“We are so proud to work with the National Housing Endowment to provide educational opportunities for worthy students,” said Patsy Smith, who serves as a life trustee for the endowment.
Since its inception, the Smith scholarship, administered by the National Housing Endowment, has awarded more than $164,000 to exemplary students.
Applicants interested in applying for the scholarship funds must be in a housing-related program such as construction management, construction technology, civil engineering, architecture, design or any of the trade specialties at a college or university.
Preference is given to students who are residents of Texas or who are attending a Texas college or university, and who are active members in the NAHB Student Chapter at their college.
