WTS is an international organization dedicated to the advancement of women in the transportation industry.  The WTS Foundation (WTSF) was formed in 2009 to provide scholarships to support the next generation of transportation professionals in our mission.

The local WTS Michigan Chapter is supporting four scholarships for deserving women in Michigan!  Two undergraduate scholarships at $1,500 each and two graduate scholarships at $2,500 each.  The women that win at the local level are automatically entered at the International level for their chance at scholarships with even higher values!  Details of each scholarship are on the first page of the application.

The applications are due on Friday, November 19^th, 2021.  The applications are attached. 

At SmithGroup, we are focused on exploring ways to Design A Better Future. One of our opportunities to achieve this objective is through our efforts to create a more diverse workforce in our industry. In support of this goal, we are proud to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2022 SmithGroup Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (J.E.D.I.) Scholarship Program.

Now entering its fifth year, this program’s mission is to provide students from historically underrepresented groups with the opportunity to attain their professional goals while advancing the architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) industry and improving the built environment. As you can see in this video, the program is truly making an impact in the lives of these students.

The program provides a one-time award of $6,000 to five talented students to help offset their tuition at their current academic institution. Additionally, the scholarship recipients will serve as paid summer interns at any SmithGroup office in the United States where their discipline is located.

The deadline for entry is October 29, 2021, so we encourage you to share this information with the faculty, staff and students at your institutions and invite eligible students to apply.

If you have any questions, please contact us at scholarships@smithgroup.com. We look forward to receiving the entries from your students.

Additional information about the scholarship can be found here: https://www.smithgroup.com/jedi-scholarship.
