Sponsor a Scholarship
WTS-LA is a leader in supporting and mentoring the next generation of transportation professionals in Southern California. As scholarship sponsors, you are helping WTS-LA further push the growth and development of aspiring women in transportation. Our annual scholarship program provides significant financial support to high-achieving women seeking assistance to cover rising education costs.
WTS-LA has awarded scholarships to deserving women entering the transportation field over the past three decades. In the past 10 years, our chapter awarded more than 150 scholarships! In 2024, WTS-LA awarded $137,000 in competitive academic scholarships to women in high school, community college, undergraduate, graduate, and skilled trades programs in transportation-related fields--made possible by the generosity of our Scholarship Program Sponsors.
We invite corporations of all sizes, public agencies, and individuals to support our scholarship program.
