Student Scholarship Opportunities
WTS Philadelphia awards scholarships to individuals from high school to graduate school who are interested in pursuing careers in transportation. We are committed to the inclusion of differences and similarities related to ethnicity, age, and gender identity. The scholarships are competitive and based on the applicant’s specific transportation goals, academic record, transportation-related activities, and other relevant skills.
WTS Philadelphia started the scholarship program in 1990. In the past 30+ years, more than 100 women have benefited from this program.
