The goals of these Grants are to provide DDETFP Graduate Fellowships to 1) attract the Nation's brightest minds to the field of transportation, 2) enhance the careers of transportation professionals by encouraging them to seek advanced degrees, and 3) bring and retain top talent in the transportation industry of the U.S.
Individual students apply for the DDETFP Graduate Fellowship. The FHWA makes awards to the Institution of Higher Education (IHE) (“Recipient”) on behalf of the student (“Student Designee”). The IHE must be accredited by a federally-recognized accrediting agency and must be located within the United States or its Territories. If a student is selected to receive a fellowship, the student, their faculty advisor, and the IHE will be responsible for completing and submitting all required paperwork to execute the Agreement. Students must be prepared to submit a copy of their application package and this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to their IHE.

The FHWA expects approximately $1 million to be made available for the DDETFP.
