Applications are now open for the Indiana Department of Transportation’s Engineering Scholarship, offering Hoosier students a chance to build their future in civil engineering while shaping Indiana’s infrastructure.
Each year, INDOT awards a select number of scholarships to students pursuing engineering degrees. Recipients will receive $3,125 per semester for financial assistance, along with hands-on experience through paid summer internships. Upon graduation, scholars are given priority consideration for full-time positions with the agency. Scholarships may be applied to undergraduate, graduate or combined civil engineering programs.
To apply, students must:
- Be currently enrolled or accepted into a school of engineering at an Indiana ABET-accredited college or university;
- Have completed at least one year of college or will complete one year of college by May 2026;
- Attend school full time; and
- Possess a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale.

The application deadline is Dec. 31. I encourage eligible Hoosier students to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to gain valuable experience while helping design the state’s transportation network.
