NCSEA Grant Program
The NCSEA Grant Program awards SEAs funding for projects that grow and promote their SEA and the structural engineering field in
accordance with the NCSEA Mission Statement:
NCSEA advances the practice of structural engineering by representing and strengthening its Member Organizations.
Past Grant recipients have used their funds to support symposiums and networking events for members, enhancing mentoring programs, setting up Engineering for the Arts initiatives, and updating dated studies. Some SEAs used their grants to purchase items that could be used to enhance their outreach efforts.

2018 Grant Program Success:
Structural Engineers Association of Ohio
SEAO used their NCSEA Grant to kick-start their Young Member Group. The first event they hosted was a bowling night, which was a great way for their young members to network and have some fun, but it also provided the opportunity to survey the membership for future events.
Their second event was a joint-trivia night with the local AIA Emerging Professionals’ Group. They received overwhelmingly positive feedback for the successful event and are looking forward to partnering with AIA again.
SEAO put their grant to good use to facilitate relationships among the young design professionals in the community, and because of their hardwork interest in the YMG was quickly established. They look forward to hosting more social and professional events in the future to further strengthen their group.
