The civil engineering department provides many undergraduate scholarships each year through the civil engineering scholarship program and through the Contractor License Fee scholarship program. Civil engineering scholarships are funded by gifts and endowments from alumni and friends of the department. CLF scholarships are funded by fees paid by contractors as part of their license renewal fees each year.

Department scholarship program
Incoming freshman
The department awards scholarships to incoming freshman based on their standardized test score (ACT and SAT), high school GPA and extracurricular activities. The scholarships are highly competitive and are typically awarded for a period of four years subject to satisfactory performance by the student.
Current students
Students enrolled at Auburn may also apply for civil engineering scholarships each year. The number and size of scholarships available varies from year to year. Choice of recipients depends on factors such as academic performance, career planning, technical area of interest and place of permanent residence.

The CLF scholarship program is for Alabama residents only, and these scholarships are available to freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors. CLF scholarships are awarded on a year-to-year basis.
