The University of Georgia’s College of Engineering has received what they are describing as a historic commitment. Nancy and Les Juneau are investing $5 million dollars to advance the college’s priorities and provide need-based scholarship support for engineering students beginning in fall 2026. $4 million will support the college, while the remaining $1 million will fund the Juneau Construction Engineering Scholarship Fund to offer need-based assistance to undergraduate students. The UGA Foundation will contribute a $1million match to the scholarship fund.
“Les and I have always believed that education is the ultimate foundation for success, and we have seen firsthand the incredible impact UGA Engineering students and alumni have on our industry every day,” Nancy Juneau said.
UGA alumna Nancy and her husband Les are co-founders of the Atlanta-based Juneau Construction Company. The company has partnered with UGA Engineering since its founding in 2012. It has assisted students through activities including guest lectures, career fairs, and student organizations.
“We are beyond grateful to the Juneaus for their steadfast support of the UGA College of Engineering,” said Dean Alex Orso. “Their investment — the largest individual commitment in the college’s history — will impact countless students for many years to come and sends a powerful message about what this college can achieve.”
The Juneaus have made annual contributions to every UGA school and college.
