This scholarship not only fosters educational growth but also encourages commitment to the civil engineering profession, emphasizing the importance of structural integrity and innovation in the built environment.

Overview

American Society of Civil Engineers The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 160,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest national civil engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment. Through the expertise of its active membership, ASCE is a leading provider of technical and professional conferences and continuing education, the world’s largest publisher of civil engineering content, and an authoritative source for codes and standards that protect the public. The Society advances civil engineering technical specialties through nine dynamic institutes and leads with its many professional- and public-focused programs. Y. C. Yang Civil Engineering Scholarship Through the generosity of Y. C. Yang, Chairman of T. Y. Lin & Y.C. Yang International, a scholarship fund was established in 2004 to foster interest in structural engineering and to encourage students to further their civil engineering education. Mr. Yang, a renowned structural engineer, has overseen the design and construction of hundreds of projects including medium-to-high rise buildings, highway and railway bridges in the United States and Taiwan, and several airports, including San Francisco International Airport, Oakland Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and Chiang Kai Shek International Airport, in Taipei, Taiwan. The Y.C. Yang Civil Engineering Scholarship may be presented annually to not more than two undergraduate civil engineering students, who will use the scholarship for their undergraduate tuition expenses and fees. The purpose of the scholarship is to further the education of worthy students in structural engineering. Funds may be applied to tuition expenses and academic fees reasonably and logically associated with an undergraduate engineering program while continuing formal undergraduate education.
