Applications are now being accepted for the 13th Annual Tim Fleming Memorial Scholarship. Over the last 12 years, this fund has awarded 17 scholarships (some years we award more than one) worth nearly $50,000. You might remember that we increased the scholarship to $5,000 in 2021 and added Graduate Student eligibility. The annual scholarship has historically been awarded to a Junior or Senior majoring in Civil Engineering/Transportation at California State University Sacramento, University of California Davis, or University of the Pacific. Our 2022 winners, Raven Cochrane and Judy Magaña, both from Sac State, each received checks for $5,000 at our Past Presidents Dinner last February.
This year’s flyer is attached to this newsletter. The scholarship is administered by the California Transportation Foundation and well supported by your Sierra Chapter. If you know a Junior, Senior or Graduate Student that qualifies, please pass the flyer on to them.
The Tim Fleming Memorial Scholarship was established in the name of our good friend and Sierra Chapter Past President, Tim Fleming, who passed away unexpectedly in November 2010 at the young age of 51. Tim was a graduate of the University of the Pacific and Stanford University and served our industry tirelessly as a leader and colleague. This scholarship honors his legacy and reminds us all that life is precious. This year’s winner(s) will be selected and then honored at our next Past Presidents Dinner scheduled for February 21, 2024. Reserve this date on your calendar now!
