Scholarship Fund

As Embry-Riddle’s Civil Engineering Program marks its 20th anniversary this fall, it also

celebrates the creation of its first ever endowed scholarship: The Timothy W. Neubert – Neubert Aero Corporation Endowed Scholarship for Civil Engineering. For Tim Neubert, President of Neubert Aero Corp, it’s an investment in the future of aviation. “The pilot and airplanes need to land on something and I think there are materials and design solutions that can be engineered to make runways more affordable to use and longer lasting,” he says. His hope is that Embry-Riddle students will lead this effort by enrolling in an industry specific profession-Airport Civil Engineering.
