Women's Transportation Seminar - DC Scholarship Program
Deadline: November 8, 2007 (postmarked)
WTS is an international organization of transportation professionals who are committed to
career and industry excellence. While WTS has both male and female members, one of its
primary goals is to promote professional development opportunities for women in
transportation-related careers. Through more than 30 chapters in the U.S., Canada, and
England and with a membership of over 4,000 individuals, WTS provides seminars,
newsletters, scholarships, conferences, and networking opportunities for working
professionals.
To encourage women pursuing careers in transportation-related fields in the Washington,
D.C. region, our Chapter offers graduate and undergraduate scholarships. We anticipate
awarding, at a minimum, one graduate scholarship and one undergraduate scholarship to
outstanding students during the 2007 – 08 school year. The scholarship winners could each
receive $1,500.
Applicants wishing to be considered by the Washington DC Chapter must:
1. Be women;
2. Be enrolled in a college or university where they are pursuing a degree in
transportation or in a transportation-related field;
3. Have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher;
4. Plan to pursue a career in transportation or a transportation-related field; and
5. Maintain a permanent residence or attend school in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area or greater Virginia.
The WTS Washington Chapter will consider each scholarship candidate who meets all of the above criteria and whose complete application package is postmarhed by November 8th and received by November 9, 2007. Applications cannot be faxed or emailed. Applications should be mailed to:
