AGC NYS Scholarship Program 2025

“For Expenses Only” - Deadline: May 2, 2025
The AGC NYS, LLC. is a nonprofit association of General Contractors, Construction Managers, Subcontractors and other construction-industry affiliated firms engaged in building, highway, heavy, industrial, municipal and utility contracting. We are one of the largest AGC chapters in the nation, and leading statewide construction association in New York.

Since our inception we have been instrumental in bringing about economic and infrastructure development in New York through our involvement in legislative affairs, specifications reviews, labor negotiations, education, highway budgeting and appropriations and many other subjects of importance to AGC members statewide. We have fostered cooperation between the contracting community and the public works administrations of the State, County and Town governments.

In 1988 we started the AGC NYS scholarship program. Since then, the fund has distributed more than $1.7 million in the form of over 697 scholarships to college students working toward a bachelor’s degree in construction or construction-related engineering.

The AGC NYS, LLC. Scholarship program is funded by our members through our annual Anthony S. Santaro AGC Scholarship Golf Classic; by individual member donations and through endowments.

You have the ultimate responsibility to ensure that the application, all evaluation forms and transcripts are received by the AGC NYS, LLC, 10 Airline Drive Suite 203, Albany, NY 12205 no later than May 2, 2025.
