2025 ABC Rocky Mountain Chapter Education Scholarship Recipients
The Rocky Mountain Chapter is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Construction Industry Scholarship. We extend our congratulations to the outstanding students selected for this honor. The following are brief messages from each recipient.
Glory Lenell
I am attending Oklahoma State University (OSU) to study civil engineering as part of the class of 2029. I’m super excited to get involved in the community there and to learn more about civil engineering and construction. OSU’s civil engineering program will help launch me into a career in construction and field engineering. I can’t wait to put down new roots and give back to my community during my stay in Oklahoma. Go, Pokes!
Kylie Conrad
I will be attending Colorado State University as part of the class of 2029. I will pursue a degree in construction management with a minor in business. After I graduate, I plan on working in the residential construction industry, building someone’s dream home. Being a part of something bigger than myself has always been one of my goals, and being a female in a male dominated industry helping pave a way for young girls is one way I can achieve that. This scholarship has given me a start in making this goal a reality!
Makayla Odette
I just graduated from Ponderosa High School and will be attending Benedictine College this fall to play softball and study civil engineering. I value quality time with my friends and family and love the outdoors.
Cody Maloney
I am attending Colorado Mesa University Tech in Grand Junction and started my studies in August 2025. I am in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technician Program. I plan to gain experience through an internship and then work for a company after I graduate. I would ultimately like to return to a small town to open my own company. I am proud of my hard work and work ethic that I have demonstrated in my academics, jobs and extracurricular activities. I have been passionate about baseball, my leadership opportunities in my FFA chapter and my close relationships with my family and friends. I look forward to continuing with my passions and giving back to those around me.
