ST. LOUIS, MO - The Association of Modified Asphalt Producers is continuing its work to ensure that future generations of aspiring asphalt industry leaders have the funds needed to pursue their career goals by announcing its call for applications for the second annual David R. Jones IV Scholarship award. Developed last year, the fund provides a $1,000 scholarship to a college junior or senior majoring in a field of study related to asphalt technology, such as chemical or civil engineering and chemistry. Special preference is given to applicants with experience and interest in the overall field of asphalt technology.
The scholarship is named in memory of late asphalt industry leader David R. Jones, IV, who served in a variety of capacities in the asphalt industry, including time at the University of Texas, where he was a key member of the Asphalt Research Team responsible for Performance Graded (PG) Asphalt Binder Specification.
Applications for the 2010 scholarship award are currently available on the AMAP website at www.modifiedasphalt.org and will be accepted through Oct. 1, 2010. Interested applicants will be required to provide letters of recommendation, school transcripts and a 500-word essay highlighting their interest in asphalt technology. Complete details on application requirements are outlined on the application form.
"We were impressed with the number of highly qualified students who applied for last year's scholarship, and with our inaugural winner," said Kevin Hardin, Vice President of Operations for Mariani Asphalt and chairman of the scholarship fund. "It's truly exciting to have the opportunity to give students the chance to achieve their career goals through this special fund that bears Dave Jones' name, and we encourage any student with an interest in asphalt technology to submit their applications today."
