PEI Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association "Frank W. Curtis Memorial Scholarship"

Awarded to a returning student entering the third year of the Sustainable Design Engineering program with the highest academic average in the previous year. The scholarship may be renewable on condition that the student continues in the Sustainable Design Engineering program in the fourth year and maintains an academic average of 80% or higher. This annual award was established at the University of Prince Edward Island in 1986 by the PEI Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association in memory of Frank W. Curtis, a founding member and subsequently general manager of the Association for many years. The Association is comprised of companies sharing a common goal -- a strong, effective voice in the Heavy Construction Industry and was incorporated in 1962. The PEI Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association considers the highway system to be the lifeblood of the economy, supporting commerce including farming, agriculture, fishing, fish-related products and tourism. Good and safe roads are required for the general traveling public, thus the Association supports education of students in the Engineering profession through the Frank W. Curtis Memorial Award.
