Scholarship

CRW offers an annual Engineering & Geomatics Scholarship in honor of CRW’s founder Willy Van Hemert and his ongoing contributions to CRW and the engineering community. It began in 2019 and typically includes 1-2 $2,500 scholarship(s). Our goal is to encourage and support the next generation of Alaska engineers and surveyors.

We are proud to recognize our 2026 winners:
