Turner Scholarship Program
Scholarship Program Assists Minority Students Towards Career In the Building Industry
NEW YORK, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ — Turner Construction Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Turner Corporation, the nation’s leading general builder, today announced that its New York City YouthForce 2020 Scholarship Program is accepting college scholarship applications for 2006. This marks the program’s fifteenth successful year in guiding minority students towards a career in the building industry. Since the program’s inception, Turner has
awarded over 55 scholarships to students living in the five boroughs.
Each year, Turner’s New York business unit selects 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 2.75 grade point average, remain in the same course of study, 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 its scholarship recipients upon graduating from college.
Applications for the 2006 Scholarship program are now being accepted. For further information or to request an application form, please contact Stephanie Ansari, Community Affairs Coordinator for Turner Construction Company, via email at sansari@tcco.com.
