INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is once again offering a limited number of civil engineering students with $3,125 scholarships per semester for up to five years. Full-time students accepted or currently enrolled in a qualifying civil engineering program are encouraged to learn more and download the two-page scholarship application at INDOTScholarship.IN.gov. Applications for the 2010-2011 school year must be postmarked by April 30, 2010.
"Indiana is leading the nation in number of infrastructure projects with its aggressive Major Moves and Recovery Act construction programs," said Recruitment Consultant Brandi Jittjumnongk. "INDOT's Engineer Scholarship Program responds to this pressing need by helping educate talented engineers and keeping them employed within the Hoosier State."
INDOT's scholarship program leverages federal transportation funding to offer civil engineering scholarships to college students enrolled at one of Indiana's Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) certified engineering schools. Eligible university programs include Purdue University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, University of Evansville, University of Notre Dame, Trine University, University of Southern Indiana and Valparaiso University.
"In these uncertain economic times, INDOT's Engineer Scholarship Program not only offsets tuition costs but establishes summer employment opportunities and a career path upon graduation," Jittjumnongk said.
Scholarship recipients will receive more than $3,125 per semester for up to five years of post-secondary education, including a maximum of two years of graduate school. Scholarship funds can be applied to educational expenses such as tuition, fees and books. In return, recipients will work at INDOT in full-time, paid positions during their summer breaks. Upon graduation, scholarship recipients must work six months at INDOT for each academic semester they received a scholarship.
More information on the INDOT Engineer Scholarship program and an application form are available on the Web at INDOTScholarship.IN.gov. Applications for the 2010-2011 school year must be postmarked by April 30, 2010.
