Kimmel & Associates Scholarship for Students
Kimmel & Associates Scholarship for Students
In 2004, Kimmel & Associates, the largest search firm in the United States dedicated to construction, announced the creation of the Kimmel & Associates Scholarship for Students in Construction. Since it was introduced, the Scholarship for Students in Construction has been awarded to 180 students at 76 colleges and universities in 34 states around the country. Each student who wins the Scholarship receives $1000 toward his or her education for the relevant semester.
As each new school semester begins, Kimmel & Associates remains excited about this effort to assist the construction industry. Joe Kimmel, the founder and President of Kimmel & Associates, notes, Weve seen a decline in enrollment at colleges and universities in construction programs, and the clients we serve and other builders are looking for ways to attract kids to the industry. We hope our scholarship helps.
That hope has been a constant theme at Kimmel & Associates of late, prompting both the scholarship and a $7 Million gift that Kimmel presented to the school of Construction Management at Western Carolina University, a windfall that WCU has used to bolster their program and draw more students in who will become builders.
