Scholarships

Hispanic Scholarship Fund Institute

DOT, in partnership with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Institute (HSFI), recently launched the DOT/HSFI Next Generation of Public Servants Scholarship Program. This pilot program allows DOT to provide academically accomplished Latino college students a pathway to complete their college degree and learn about the Department of Transportation and the career opportunities available in each of DOT's Operating Administrations, the Office of the Secretary and the Office of Inspector General.

Through the DOT/HSFI Next Generation of Public Servants Scholarship Program, 12 outstanding Hispanic college students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 were each awarded a $3,000 scholarship. In addition to the scholarship, students will participate in a variety of professional development and mentoring activities throughout the 2003-2004 academic year. Activities will provide students valuable information about DOT's mission, education and employment opportunities, and will encourage students to consider a career in DOT as a civil servant.
