FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ---
Announcement of Awarding of Kimmel & Associates Scholarship for Autumn 2005 Semester

September 1, 2005 – Asheville, NC - Kimmel & Associates, the largest executive search firm in the construction industry, is pleased to announce that it has selected 36 students to receive its Scholarship for Students in Construction for the Autumn 2005 Semester. Each scholarship is worth $1,000. Kimmel & Associates established the Scholarship in 2004 and awards recipients for both the Spring and Autumn semesters during a school year.

The 36 students who are receiving the Autumn 2005 Scholarship come from 20 different colleges and universities representing 15 states.

The announcement of the selections for the Autumn Scholarship came from President Joe Kimmel, who founded Kimmel & Associates in 1981. Kimmel said, “We’ve served the construction industry for 25 years and are always searching for tangible ways to give back to the industry that has given us so much. We hope that helping the next generation of builders helps accomplish that goal.”

The scholarship is intended to encourage students to enter construction as a profession and to ease the financial burden on those who are selected to receive the award. Further, professionals already working in the construction industry but who want to return to school and pursue a degree in their field are eligible for the scholarship as well.

In Spring 2005, Kimmel & Associates awarded 34 students its scholarship. Kimmel & Associates is accepting applications for the Spring 2006 semester currently.
