DFI Educational Trust Awards its First John O’Malley Scholarship
The Fund Awards Scholarships to Students Interested in Deep Foundations
The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) Educational Trust has awarded its first ever John O’Malley Scholarship to Jennifer Kubeczko. She is pursuing an master’s degree in geotechnical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. The award is in the amount of $5,000.
“I enjoy the dynamic thinking that is involved in foundation design due to the variability of the soils in respect to depth and location,” Kubeczko wrote in her application. “I find it fascinating that the substructure of a building can be the same no matter if it’s on one side of town or the other, but that the foundation design of a building could vary from one side of the street to another.”
