DBIA is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our “Owner Education & Travel Fund” which provides complimentary registration and travel assistance to the 2012 Design-Build in Transposrtation Conference.
The goal of these Funds is to advance the awareness, understanding and use of design-build among as many owners/government agencies as possible. Therefore, DBIA can not award scholarships to multiple individuals from the same agency unless funds are still available after all interested agency applications are reviewed.
Description of Funds:
- Owner Education Fund: Covers complimentary registration to the 2012 Design-Build in Transportation Conference
- Owner Travel Fund: Used to offset all or a portion of an individual’s travel costs. Recipients may apply to have coach airfare and lodging for up to three nights covered.
The amount awarded is based on the number of applications received and fund availability. Applicants may apply for consideration for multiple funds. However, DBIA cannot guarantee that all requests will be awarded.
Deadline & Applications: MARCH 5
Notifications: Applicants will be notified by March 14, 2012 regarding their scholarship status.
Eligibility: Any public owner of construction projects is eligible, as long as they are considering, or interested in considering, the use of design-build as a project delivery method, or have utilized this project delivery method in the past. Applicants need not be members of DBIA to qualify. “Owner’s Representatives” are only eligible if the application includes a signed statement from the owner attesting that the “owner’s representative” is attending on behalf of the organization.
Questions: If you have questions regarding the Owner Education, please contact Mihsiha Henderson at mhenderson@dbia.org.
