History

In 1999, after the untimely passing of Forrest and Konrad Schweiger, the Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded by Advanced American Construction; a full-service general contractor providing heavy civil, marine, industrial, diving, and engineering services to public and private clients throughout the western United States.

This scholarship program aims to advance the education and career goals of outstanding college undergraduates and apprentices (trade school), and military veterans in the construction industry. Scholarship recipients have been awarded up to $10,000, and applicants are eligible to receive scholarships for each year they meet qualifying criteria.
