Comet staff report

In an unprecedented effort to educate Hoosier students and keep talented engineers in the Hoosier State, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has created the INDOT Engineer Scholarship Program.

The new scholarship program leverages federal transportation funding to offer civil engineering scholarships to college students enrolled at one of Indiana's seven Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) certified engineering college.

Scholarship recipients will receive more than $3,000 a semester for up to five years of college, including up to two years of graduate school. Each academic semester, INDOT will make scholarship payments to 20 engineering students. In return, recipients will work at INDOT in full-time paid positions during their college summer breaks. After graduation, scholarship recipients will work six months at INDOT for each academic semester they received a scholarship.
