*Final scholarship dollar amount will be determined based on the program in which the recipient is enrolled.

To be eligible for consideration, an applicant must:

Be enrolled in and in attendance at the time at an accredited college or university pursuing a degree in a STEM discipline (junior or senior undergraduates, or any graduate students), or a trade school or other continuing education program that will enhance a current or future career in the railway engineering-maintenance industry;
provide proof of enrollment in a college or university or a vocational or technical institution continuing education program at the time the funds are disbursed;
Have the intent to pursue or further develop a career in the railway engineering-maintenance industry.

Applicants may elect to have their application reviewed for both awards; however, receiving the REMSA Railway Engineering Education Scholarship does not guarantee selection for the InnoTrans Career Award and vice versa.
