MANHATTAN — Chelsea Lewis, Alma, a bachelor's/master's degree student in architectural engineering with an emphasis in structural engineering at Kansas State University, has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship from the Kansas Chapter of the American Concrete Institute.
The institute, a nonprofit organization, is comprised of individuals associated with the concrete industry. The Kansas chapter offers this scholarship, one per school, annually for students pursuing education in fields pertaining to the concrete industry.
