Hawthorne NJ: The Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) Educational Trust has awarded three of the four Langan Engineering & Environmental Services Legacy Scholarships. The fund was established in 2015 with a $200,000 donation from Langan Engineering and Environmental Services and an additional contribution of more than $100,000 generously made by many principals of Langan.

The fund, which provides scholarships to civil engineering students focusing on geotechnical and/or environmental engineering, includes four scholarships honoring former distinguished members of Langan:
•The Bernard F. Langan Scholarship at Purdue University

•The George P. Kelley Memorial Scholarship at Drexel University

The 2019 recipient of the $5,000 Bernard F. Langan Scholarship at Purdue University is graduate student Rameez Ali Raja.

The 2019 recipient of the $5,000 Donald J. Murphy Memorial Scholarship at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is senior Maria Dominique (Nikki) Ong. Upon graduation, she is pursuing an M.S. in environmental engineering.
