 With Engineers Week coming to a close, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 12 is taking the opportunity to remind everyone about their engineer scholarship. For those who are considering pursuing a career in civil engineering, this scholarship could be the perfect fit. The program also covers civil engineering technology and construction management. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Scholarship was started in 1948, so it's been around over 75 years. The scholarship is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in civil engineering. As time has gone on, the program has broadened to also include civil engineering technology and construction management. But what each of these programs do is they provide stipends to potential students who want to go and pursue their higher education opportunities in a field that relates to the work that we do with the highway department. Appalachian Wireless is spreading the love of Almond Pong, offering $500 off select devices. On the Appalachian Advantage, coordination-wide mix and match plans, plus new lines get an additional $100 off because we are youth. We are Appalachian Wireless. All applicants must have a 24 average score on their ACT and a recommendation from either a guidance counselor or educator. To apply, visit transportation.ky.gov. Some of the requirements are about the application process, and that involves things like your high school grades. You have to have a minimum test score. I think it's an ACT of 24, and you also need to have recommendations from like a guidance counselor or teachers and so forth. When you first hear about engineering, you think that it's mainly math and science, which there's a lot of that involved with it. But engineering has a lot of sub-disciplines related to it that focuses on things like electrical engineering, biomechanical engineering, and other types, not just civil. So this route that I chose to take was mainly related to things like designing roads and bridges, and that's what we do here at District 12. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
