NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Alliant Insurance Services announces its continued financial support of The AGC Education and Research Foundation. Alliant’s pledge of $100,000 will fund undergraduate and graduate-level scholarships for students enrolled in ABET or ACCE accredited construction management or construction-related engineering programs.
“We are dedicated to inspiring students of all backgrounds to pursue an education in engineering and construction management,” said Michael Cusack, Managing Director and Co-COO, Alliant Specialty. “Alliant’s commitment to the construction industry is unmatched in the broker community, and we are proud to be a catalyst that supports the education of the next generation of leaders in the industry.”
The private, direct scholarship is designed to make a significant difference for students planning a career in the construction industry and can be awarded at any stage of a student’s education journey. Applicants for the scholarship are required to complete an online application and participate in an interview with a local AGC contractor.
