ITE Diversity Scholars Program Applications are due March 15!

The Diversity Scholars Program strives to increase diversity in the transportation profession by supporting African-American, Native American, Alaskan, Hawaiian, and Hispanic/Latino students interested in pursuing transportation in their studies and possibly as a career. In addition, this program focuses on supporting students with the greatest financial need.

There are four cornerstones to this program:

• Financial support (a total of up to $20,000 in scholarship support: up to $4,000 annually per student for up to 5 years of undergraduate enrollment)
• ITE Student Chapter engagement
• Mentoring
• Internship Opportunities

This opportunity is available to U.S. high school or community college students intending to transfer to a 4-year university in the fall of 2025. Eligible candidates should belong to African-American, Native American (including Alaskan and Hawaiian), or Hispanic/Latino heritage. The program is specifically designed for those interested in pursuing a career in transportation and planning to study transportation engineering or a related field at a university with an established ITE Student Chapter.

An objective of the Diversity Scholars Program is to help those with the greatest financial need. Preference will be given to first-generation college students and low household income.
