The Armando J. De Moya Scholarship

THE ARMANDO J. DE MOYA SCHOLARSHIP

2015-16

DEADLINE: 5/18/2015

The de Moya Foundation is a 501 (3) (c) charitable trust, which will work to raise awareness, create and support programs for children and young adults with unique abilities, special needs and their families. We believe that persons with unique abilities and special needs can benefit from post-secondary learning experiences and lifetime learning programs that will assist them in becoming employed, independent and self-sufficient. This will develop a sense of self-worth and help them reach their maximum potential in life.

The Foundation will provide scholarships for students interested in the Engineering and Construction industries, who need financial support, tutoring, or employment support to succeed in preparing for competitive employment in the road and bridge construction industry.

The Armando J. de Moya Scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $5,000.00 to an undergraduate student who wishes to pursue a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Civil Engineering, has obtained a high school diploma, graduated with a 3.5 GPA or higher, needs financial support to pursue his/her studies and is enrolled in the University of Florida, Gainesville.
