The W. Gene Corley Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Dr. Corley, who was recognized as an industry leader among those in the structural engineering community for several decades. This scholarship will be awarded to graduate students in the field of concrete with an interest in forensic engineering and the behavior and design of concrete structures. The ACI Foundation is serving the industry by establishing and distributing scholarships to high potential students in concrete-related programs. Applicants must be a student in a concrete-related degree program such as civil engineering, structuring engineering, concrete science and technology, concrete industry management, etc. during the entire award term (Fall 2026 - Spring 2027). To be eligible for a graduate scholarship, students must be a full-time student in a master's or PhD program during the entire award cycle.
