Since its founding in 1988, the California Transportation Foundation (CTF) has awarded more than $1.1 million in scholarships. To qualify for these scholarships, recipients must be intent on a career in transportation, and be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or documented, international students. Each scholarship has additional qualifications, which can be found on CTF’s website (www.transportationfoundation.org). Last year the foundation awarded scholarships to 82 students. Here are a few of the most recent recipients:
