Fellowships from the Mineta Transportation Institute

The Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) is proud to have supported MSTM students with close to $1 million in fellowships since the program began in 1996.

Matriculated MSTM students are eligible to apply for MTI fellowships, with the dollar amount varying each semester. The exact value of the fellowship will be determined each semester according to the number of eligible applicants and available funding. MTI plans to offer at least $20,000 per semester in fellowships.

To qualify for a fellowship, applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Be a matriculated (degree-seeking) student in the MSTM program

• Complete at least two classes during the semester and earn a grade of B or better in each class taken. During the fall semester, classes may be taken in the Fall-A and/or Fall-B sessions; in the spring semester classes may be taken in Spring-A and/or Spring-B. (Note: Fellowships will not be granted to students who have a grade of "Incomplete" outstanding 3 weeks after the end of the semester.),

• Not have received more than two prior MTI fellowships (students may earn a maximum of three MTI fellowships).

• Not have been awarded any other MTI cash award or scholarship for the same semester
