2010/2011 CH2M HILL Engineers Without Borders-USA Scholarship Program

CH2M HILL is pleased to announce 12 recipients of a CH2M HILL Engineers Without Borders-USA Scholarship – the caliber of applicants was so strong that we decided to award 12 scholarships instead of the originally announced 10.

We received more than 80 applications from students at 53 universities representing 12 different engineering disciplines. The final recipients were selected for their dedication to academic excellence, ability to apply technical skills to make a meaningful difference, strong leadership abilities, and dedication to Engineers Without Borders-USA.
