College students across Wisconsin will return to campus for second semester in about a week. Some of the most impressive ones working toward careers in transportation construction will bring some well earned financial aid with them when they do.
WTBA celebrated its four 2025 Scholarship recipients Thursday night during the Contractor-Engineer Conference Awards Dinner.

The students applied for $5,000 Engineering and $3,000 Engineering Tech awards in the fall, submitting a cover letter, two letters of recommendation, and their school transcripts. The WTBA of Tomorrow Board selected the winners.
“These four young men and women, most of you didn’t know them before tonight,” WTBA of Tomorrow Chairman Taylor Tauer told the crowd before handing out the scholarships.
“But, trust me, they are impressive enough you’ll likely know them in years to come. They represent the best of what was a challenging process for our board, whittling down dozens of applicants into just four winners. They are the true ‘WTBA of Tomorrow.’”
