The North American Society for Trenchless Technology has officially opened the application portal for its 2026 Municipal & Public Utility Scholarship. This program aims to connect trenchless contractors with key decision-makers by providing valuable training and networking opportunities to employees of municipalities, government agencies and utility owners.
The scholarship awards a full conference and exhibition registration to the NASTT No-Dig Show, including hotel accommodations for three nights at the host hotel. Recipients will have full access to all exhibits and technical paper sessions, allowing them to seek solutions to their infrastructure challenges. One-day conference registrations are also available.
Since its inception, the scholarship has enabled over 2,000 agency representatives to attend the No-Dig Show. A volunteer committee reviews all applications, and in recent years, over 100 scholarships have been awarded annually. NASTT membership is not a requirement to apply.
The application deadline is Nov. 1, and submissions received after that date will be placed on a waitlist. Acceptance letters will be sent in mid-December.
