BIA Foundation Scholarships

Build the Future

The BIA Foundation Scholarship was created to encourage and promote a highly qualified workforce for the building industry.

Since 1994, the BIA Foundation Scholarship Fund has awarded over $200,000 to 150+ students.

In 2022, the BIA Foundation Board of Trustees voted to suspend the scholarship program and identify new avenues to encourage participation within the building industry. The Foundation board welcomes input on potential programs and ideas that would warrant support from the Foundation.
