For those who were not lucky enough to have encountered Robert "Bob" Lyons during his lifetime, your experience with IIBEC (formerly RCI, Inc.) illustrates the magnitude of his legacy. Put simply, Bob Lyons was the founder. IIBEC would not be the organization it is today without Bob's countless contributed hours, networking, and old-fashioned hard work. While IIBEC and the RCI-IIBEC Foundation are two wholly separate entities, it is reasonable to allow that one was the leading factor into another.
The Robert W. Lyons Award supports undergraduate-level college students studying engineering, architecture or construction sciences. It is a needs-based scholarship that will annually award four (4) worthy undergraduate students scholarships of $5,000 each, as long as funding allows. RCI-IIBEC Foundation employees and their family members are not eligible. The Robert W. Lyons Award is for undergraduate study only.
