Are you looking for an easy way to 'give back' to your professional community?

All it takes is about five minutes and you can make a tax-deductible contribution to the PIANC USA Student Travel Scholarship Fund. By doing so, you are enabling PIANC USA to continue providing travel scholarships to full time students to attend PIANC USA conferences and seminars.

Your donation will be earmarked for this travel fund and will help us support students to attend PIANC's Dredging 2012 Conference.

For this year's Smart Rivers conference in New Orleans, PIANC USA funded six students (over $4,000) to travel to and attend the conference. Most of the students attended from Mississippi State University, but we had one from Rutgers University and even the Budapest University of Technology and Economics!

Should you wish to support PIANC USA in this way, you may send a check made out to: U.S. Section PIANC, 7701 Telegraph Rd Casey Bldg., Alexandria, VA 22315. Contributions to or for the use of the U.S. Section, PIANC, for exclusively public purposes, are deductible in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code (United States Section PIANC Tax ID # 91-2003558).

Thank you for helping support the future of your profession and for making a difference in a student's life! We appreciate your membership in PIANC USA, and wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and New Year.
