Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund

Forrest Schweiger, son of Advanced American Diving Service co-founder Konrad Schweiger, lost his life in a construction accident in 1999 at the age of 26. To honor and commemorate Forrest, Advanced American Construction formed the Forrest L. Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund. Then on April 11, 2002, Konrad Schweiger passed away unexpectedly. To honor both Forrest and Konrad, the fund’s name was changed to the Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The Fund provides annual scholarships to applicants looking to pursue careers in construction and construction-related fields. The Schweiger Scholarship Fund is also offering a $2,500 Veteran Scholarship—sponsored by the Ashback Family—for students who are currently serving or have served in any branch of the US Military. A selection committee reviews applicants and awards recipients at the annual Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Awards Banquet each spring. Many of the Schweiger Scholarship recipients also participate in Advanced American Construction’s robust internship program, which provides practical construction experience for students in related fields.

Advanced American Construction hosts both the annual awards banquet and silent auction and the annual Golf Tournament each summer to benefit the Schweiger Memorial Scholarship Fund.
