The American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) is seeking qualified students for its 2017-18 “Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program.” Applications are due by April 7.

The scholarship, in its 17th year, provides post-high school financial assistance to the children of highway workers who have been killed or permanently disabled while working in roadway construction zones. More than 130 scholarships have been awarded to worthy students from across America as beneficiaries of the program.

Eligible students must attend a post-secondary institution of learning that requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. This could include any public or private four-year accredited college or university; two-year accredited college; or vocational technical college or training institution. M.B.A. candidates and master's degree students in civil engineering, construction management and other construction-related programs will also be considered. Scholarships have a value up to $5,000.
