MEET PAST SCHOLARSHIP WINNERSBCA Presidential Merit ScholarshipThe Building Contractors Association of Northeast Indiana established this scholarship program to recognize significant accomplishments and reward worthy students in furthering their education in a post-secondary, construction-related education program. Two scholarships for $2500 are available.
Michael H. Kinder Jr. Memorial ScholarshipThe family of Michael H. Kinder Jr. established this award to recognize accomplishments and achievements of a recent high school graduate or existing college student or apprentice who wishes to pursue (or is pursuing) a career in a construction trade (carpentry, bricklaying, plumbing, etc.) under a BAT-approved construction apprenticeship program or an associate or bachelor’s degree in a construction or civil-engineering related field. One scholarship in the amount of $2500 is available. This scholarship is named in memory of Michael H. Kinder, Jr., who lived and breathed construction for 42 years while he was part owner of a local construction company. Mike’s love of all things construction continued until the day he died. He was a huge perfectionist in the work he and his company did, but he also had a huge heart, a bright smile, and a desire to help others learn and grow in the profession. Even though Mike was the “boss,” he ALWAYS arrived home from work dirty because he couldn’t resist helping his crews. He was hugely passionate about growing and developing the next generation of construction talent and would be proud to have this award in his name. He also volunteered for numerous organizations during his career and retirement, including being highly involved with the BCA, from which he won the Summit Award in 2003. We are seeking students who we believe share a passion for the construction industry similar to Mike’s, and we encourage you to do your best to convey your passion in this application. BCA Corporate Scholarship with Indiana Tech A partnership between Indiana Tech and the BCA makes pursuing a degree more accessible and more affordable.
