INDIANAPOLIS — The Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana (APAI) has named Trine University students Jacob Barkey of Auburn, Indiana, Delaney Keirn of Claypool, Indiana, Hannah Murray of Shelbyville, Indiana, Derek Miller of Shipshewana, Indiana, and Lance Williamson of Decatur, Indiana, as 2020 APAI Scholars.
The five civil engineering students were recognized as scholarship recipients during the 2020 APAI Virtual Winter Conference on Dec. 16.
Scholarships are awarded by the APAI Scholarship Committee to students studying construction management, civil engineering and construction engineering and management at six nationally accredited Indiana universities, including Trine. Students must complete an in-person interview with members of the Scholarship Committee to receive an award. The total amount of scholarships awarded in 2020 by the association totaled $40,000 to deserving scholars, in anticipation that many recipients will remain in Indiana and seek employment opportunities with APAI's member contractors.
Trine University students learned about opportunities available with the Purdue Data Mine during a special presentation on April 10 in the Mark and Sarah Music/Ruoff Mortgage Esports Arena.
