U.S. Transportation Secretary Rodney E. Slater today announced the recipients of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships. The program supports post-graduate study and research in transportation.

"Education is one of President Clinton and Vice President Gore’s top priorities – it is the key to opportunity and success," Secretary Slater said. "These fellowships underscore our commitment to attracting and preparing the nation’s top talent to help meet the transportation challenges of the 21st century and the new millennium."

The annual Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program was established in 1992 under the provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and was re-authorized in 1998 by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century. It encompasses all modes of transportation and seeks to attract the best and brightest minds to the field of transportation research and into the transportation workforce.

Selection criteria for student awards include applicants’ academic achievements, recommendations, and likelihood for pursuit of a career in transportation. The FHWA’s National Highway Institute manages the program.

"The Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship program is one of our most successful educational outreach efforts for preparing young men and women for careers in transportation," FHWA Administrator Ken Wykle said. "We have seen the results of this program first hand and are pleased to have a number of former Eisenhower Fellowship recipients on staff at FHWA."

Eisenhower Fellowship Awards are presented in six categories: Graduate (GRAD), Grants for Research (GRF), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), Tribal Colleges (TC) and Faculty (FF). Since its inception, the program has been funded at $2 million per year and has supported more than 750 students and faculty.
