The NPCA Foundation recently approved a $60,000 grant for the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Concrete Industry Management program.
Through close collaboration and input from industry partners, the School of Engineering and Applied Technology at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, will implement 3 new required courses and 3 new elective courses that will be integrated into the CIM program and School of Architecture.
Approximately 300 students from five majors will attend precast courses over their four-year degreed program starting in the fall semester of 2021. PCI Foundation also provided $60,000 for the project, ensuring students and teachers will be exposed to all areas of the precast industry.
Each academic year, NPCA offers scholarships up to $500 for teams participating in ASCE’s Concrete Canoe National Competition. The purpose of the scholarship is to help teams offset the costs associated with their canoe construction and related travel costs to the competitions.

The deadline is Friday, Sept. 3. If you have questions about the NPCA Foundation Board of Directors and its duties, email [email protected].
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.
