About the HBCU Scholarships
The IBTTA Foundation and the Task Force on Diversity, Social and Racial Inclusion recognize the importance of supporting higher education to strengthen our industry; and the necessity to provide more opportunities for mentorship and leadership in the transportation tolling industry. The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage and support Black students enrolled at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who are pursuing academic degrees that can lead to a rewarding career in transportation. This scholarship reflects IBTTA's commitment to fostering diversity in the tolling industry. In 2020, through a competitive process, three $5,000 scholarships were awarded to students who submitted their applications by November 20, 2020. Awards were given before the end of the year.
In 2021, the HBCU scholarships became part of the IBTTA Foundation Scholarship program.
