Grants / Research Fellowship
AISC Milek Fellowship Program
The future of structural steel construction depends, in part, on a consistent influx of educators and graduate students. These are the future professors who will educate and motivate successive generations of design professionals to build with structural steel and appreciate its advantages.
A strong presence of steel material and steel structural design courses in college and university curricula requires faculty members who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about structural steel, which, in turn, is linked to levels of academic research focused on structural steel.
The entire structural steel construction industry will benefit from increased academic research and a continuing stream of new faculty excited and knowledgeable in the design and construction of steel structures.In support of these beliefs, AISC provides funding to selected college faculty in association with the award of a fellowship. Funding will be used for graduate research assistant-ships, faculty release and/or salary, graduate and undergraduate hourly wages, equipment and supplies and services.
