Simpson Strong-Tie Awards 120 College Scholarships

Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, announced the winners of its 2025–2026 Student Scholarship program, a part of the company’s Strong-Tie Undergraduate Fellowship. The company awarded $3,000 scholarships to 120 college juniors and seniors studying architecture, structural and civil engineering, or construction management.

The annual scholarship encourages the design and building of safer structures in our communities by supporting education for US students in engineering, design and construction majors. Scholarship recipients also become part of the Strong-Tie Undergraduate Fellowship, which provides access to industry contacts, training, job leads, peer-to-peer connection and community to help build their knowledge and networks as they prepare for their careers.

“The continued success of the building industry, and Simpson Strong-Tie itself, depends on supporting the next generation of engineers, designers and builders,” said Simpson Strong-Tie CEO Mike Olosky. “We’re proud to contribute to these efforts year after year through the scholarships as well as the learning and networking opportunities provided by our fellowship program.”
