- Turner Construction Co., the largest contractor in the U.S., has established a grant program at Alabama’s Tuskegee University to provide the school’s architecture, construction science and management and engineering programs $70,000 annually.
- The funds at the historically Black university will provide tuition assistance and financial support to students for software and equipment, as well as cover travel expenses to conferences and academic competitions.
- The grant program will help achieve the mission of Booker T. Washington, the school’s first president, who charged students to “Learn to do by doing.” The funding program will begin during the current fall semester, the university announced in a release.
