Project Grants

ASTM International is now offering a limited number of $500 grants to university students to help with student design projects that contain an ASTM International standards component. * ASTM International will post the results as a student standards application paper on the ASTM website. ABET Engineering Accreditation Requirements require the incorporation of engineering standards: “Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.”
