College Scholarship Application for 2009

Turner Construction Company, the nation's leading builder, announced its New York City YouthForce 2020 Scholarship Program is accepting college scholarship applications for 2009. This marks the program's 20th successful year in guiding minority students towards a career in the building industry. Since the program's inception, Turner has awarded over 60 scholarships to students living in the five boroughs.
This year, Turner's New York business unit will select five graduating high school seniors from New York City schools to be recipients of the scholarship in the amount of $2,000 each year, a total of $8,000 after completing four years of college. As a scholarship recipient, students must maintain a 2.80 grade point average and complete a four-year summer internship at Turner that begins immediately following the first full year of college.
In addition to mentoring these students throughout their college education, Turner extends full-time employment to the majority of its scholarship recipients upon graduating from college.
YouthForce 2020 was created by Turner, first as a company-wide program in 1989 and then brought to the New York business unit in 1992, to provide employee opportunities to minority students attending college to study Electrical, Civil, Occupational, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management or Architecture. The scholarship program has been established to encourage minorities and women who have a strong, sincere desire to pursue an education that will result in a career in the Building Industry.
The deadline for submission of the application is Monday, May 4, 2009. The applications must be mailed to Turner Construction Company, attention Stephanie Burns at 375 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10014.
