Professor Richard Bennett was recently honored by The Southeast Concrete Masonry Association, which has established a scholarship program in his honor.
The Dr. Richard Bennett Engineering Scholarship Program was established for full-time students engaged in the pursuit of an engineering (structural, architectural engineering, or related field) undergraduate or graduate degree at eligible colleges and universities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee.
The scholarship program was designed to support students pursuing a degree in the engineering field while encouraging innovative design, application, or utilization of manufactured concrete masonry and/or hardscape products.
The awards consist of up to five $1,000 scholarships for each academic year to five different schools.
