ASHE NCNJ congratulates the winners of our 2023 scholarships!

The North-Central NJ ASHE is pleased to announce the 2023 scholarship winners. Since 1995 our section has awarded $243,000 in scholarships to students actively pursuing engineering degrees. Part of our mission is encouraging new engineers into the industry.  Below are our current winners in both the Student category and Member category. 

First Place Winner of the Student Category - $5,000

"My name is Robert Stepien Jr. and I am currently a Senior Civil Engineering Major at Stevens Institute of Technology. I am graduating this upcoming Spring (2024) and am also pursuing an MBA in the accelerated master's program at Stevens, which I plan to finish as a part-time student while working after graduation. Starting in the summer I will be working full-time for TCE (formerly TC Electric) on their projects in the New York City metropolitan area. Last summer, I began my journey of pursuing a Professional Engineers license by taking the FE Exam. I passed and will now be taking the PE Civil Construction Exam this June. In college, I have been an active member of the Stevens chapter of ASCE, treasurer for the Stevens chapter of Chi Epsilon Civil Engineering Honor Society, and Vice President of Finance for my social fraternity, the Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi. I have earned a spot on the Dean's List for every semester in my college career."

Next year, I will pursue a master's degree in civil engineering with a concentration in water resources through Stevens’ Accelerated Master’s Program. Last summer, I interned with a private and municipal consulting firm Ferriero Engineering, now Boswell Engineering. This summer I will be working for Mott MacDonald as a Water/Wastewater intern. I am currently the Editor of Chi Epsilon for the Stevens chapter and a member of Tau Beta Pi and ASCE. Recently, I have been working in the iSMART Lab at Stevens helping out with stormwater research."

"My name is Gaby Kats and I am currently a junior studying social work at Indiana University with two minors in Psychology and Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management. For the past two summers I have worked at Country Roads Day Camp in Manalapan, NJ as a camp counselor which has allowed me to engage and interact with young kids. A personal goal of mine is to get my Master’s in Social Work and continue helping and advocating for those who are not able to themselves. I love to go on walks, listen to music and travel in my free time." 

The History of our Scholarship Program

The NC-NJ Section has continuously offered annual scholarships to any engineering student within our local universities/colleges.  The amount has steadily increased over the years.  Typically, we have offered 3 to 4 scholarships including (i) Student Scholarships ($3K-$5K each) awarded to north-central NJ engineering students, and since 2012, one Undergraduate Scholarship ($3.5K) awarded to an ASHE member’s child without restrictions on the major area of study. 

The recipients, along with their family and school representatives, are invited to the dinner ceremony as our guests.  The annual Golf Tournament is the primary source of funding for the scholarship program. To date, our section has awarded over $243,000 in scholarships.
