The application review process has been finished and 12 recipients have been chosen for the UTRC 2013 Advanced Institute for Transportation Education (AITE) Program, a scholarship program with a competitive application process. The Program is intended to increase the knowledge and capabilities of transportation professionals through education in transportation and related fields. The major component of the AITE Program is the provision of scholarships to students who are just starting their careers and to those who are already working in the transportation field and want to increase their knowledge and skills.

This Program requires matching resources to be contributed by either the participating university for the full-time student participants or from the participating agency for the employee applicants. Full time students who receive the AITE Scholarship will receive a stipend equal to the value of the match provided by the university up to $25,000 total over three semesters. The school’s contribution is provided for tuition reimbursement. Students who are employed and sponsored by one of the participating agencies will receive free tuition up to a value of $25,000 total over a period up to four semesters. The agency will supply the match by providing work release time valued by the employee’s salary.
