The goal of the Bermea-Hernandez "Build Your Future" Scholarship is to create a conduit between the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professions and the most promising students with design and construction-related majors in local universities. The program recognizes students’ pathways to the profession and encourages them to thrive and to pursue professional excellence. This scholarship is intended to provide students with financial assistance and mentorship through their post-secondary and professional years. The Bermea-Hernandez family is committed to supporting future AEC professionals through advocacy, mentorship, and scholarship.
