The National Housing Endowment/Lee S. Evans Scholarship

Lee S. Evans and his wife, Virginia, established the Lee S. Evans/National Housing Endowment Scholarship in 1990. Evans, an educator and consultant, has taught thousands of builders how to better manage their businesses. The Evans' endowed gift, along with the generous contributions of many of Mr. Evan's friends, colleagues and former students, created the scholarship fund to assist in addressing the pressing need for educating and training construction managers in the residential building industry. The Evan's vision to establish a permanent source of scholarship funding to assist promising students entering the field of residential construction management has helped students nationwide achieve their career goals.

The scholarship is geared towards students who have a demonstrable interest in a post college career in the residential construction industry. Applicants must be registered as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student for the Fall 2008 term and have at least one full academic year of course work remaining after the scholarship is awarded (Note: Students who will be a fifth year senior during the award year are NOT eligible.).

Preference will be given to students who are current members (or will be a member in the upcoming semester) of a student chapter of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) with both A) elected officers and B) a demonstrated program of activities. Students whose school does not have a chapter are still welcome to apply.

Preference will be given to students enrolled in a four-year program emphasizing construction management.
