What is the PC Construction Scholarship?

PC Construction builds bridges and campuses across New England, and this fund tries to pull one Vermont senior into the same pipeline. The company sponsors the award, VSAC runs the application, and the major list is narrow on purpose: construction management or civil/mechanical engineering, full time, at a Title IV school.

One $2,500 scholarship sounds small against tuition, but the applicant pool is statewide. Grades on the transcript matter alongside need and your recommender''s take on your work ethic. Essay #1 should read like someone who has been on a jobsite or in a shop class, not like a generic STEM template.

Enter PCCONST, link FAFSA, upload the transcript early, and treat February 11 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern as the hard stop. If your major drifts toward architecture or unrelated engineering, VSAC can withhold disbursement, so confirm the program title with your counselor before you submit.
