Overview

The Transportation and Urban Infrastructure Studies program provides scholarships to students interested in pursuing a career in rail transportation engineering. For the next four years, we will award 10 scholarships per year to undergrad students, averaging $20,000 per award to new first-year and transfer students, and 5 scholarships per year to graduate students, averaging $15,000 starting the 2023-2024 academic year.
