Three students recently received $5,000 scholarship awards each from the DFI Educational Trust Stanley Merjan City College of New York Civil Engineering Scholarship Fund. The fund was established in 2010 and is named for the late Stanley Merjan, an inspiration and mentor to young engineers throughout the construction industry, and a graduate of CCNY. The recipients are Nicholas Gorton, Tian Hua Liao and Jose Wu, all seniors at CCNY.
Five Manhattan College students each received $3,000 awards from the DFI Educational Trust George J. Tamaro Manhattan College Civil Engineering Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is named for George J. Tamaro, the first-ever DFI Legends-Engineer Award recipient and a graduate of Manhattan College.
