Beginning at The Precast Show in 2019, the NPCA Foundation has hosted a student competition geared toward engaging students with the precast concrete industry. Each year, a unique problem is presented, and students are asked to team up and come up with a unique solution using precast concrete. Three finalist teams will be invited to The Precast Show in Ft. Worth, Texas, to present their final designs and win cash prizes for the team and for the school program.
The Foundation invites Concrete Industry Management students, architectural students, construction management students and engineering students to apply to compete in this year’s student competition. Click the button below for an application as well as an outline of the unique project.
Completed entry forms must be submitted by Oct. 7, 2019.

The Foundation has students currently looking for internship opportunities at NPCA member companies to fulfill this requirement. If you are interested in learning more about the internship requirement or need help finding student candidates, contact Andi Pierce.

The NPCA Foundation’s philosophy is to introduce the features and benefits of precast concrete products and create a more educated specifying community. For more than two decades, the Foundation has provided educational scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in civil engineering, architectural and construction-related curricula.
