In the past, the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges (NSPCB) sponsored the Eric DeLony Scholarship honoring Eric DeLony, who served as chief of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) from 1971 to 2003 and is a noted historic preservationist. Mr. DeLony was particularly interested in the preservation of historic bridges.
The Society established this program to encourage students to pursue degrees that will lead to a career involving covered bridge preservation, repair and/or restoration.
THe program has been temporarily suspended.
