Idaho AGC Education Foundation Construction Scholarship

The Idaho Associated General Contractors (AGC) is the state’s largest, most trusted network of construction professionals. Our more than 700 member companies build the commercial spaces, public works, educational institutions, multi-family housing complexes, retail and manufacturing centers, and other public spaces where everyday Idahoans live, work, recreate, worship, and educate their children along with the roads, bridges, airports, and utility networks that connect them all together.

Through the generosity of its members, the Idaho AGC Education Foundation annually awards scholarships of up to $1,500 each to full-time, higher education students seeking a career in construction. While each award is for a single academic year, students who receive the award may apply again in the following years. Scholarships are awarded through the Idaho AGC’s Education Foundation, a 401(c)3 charity.
