Gold Coast ITE Chapter

Book Scholarship

“ITE Gold Coast Chapter Books Scholarship Award” was established in the Fall of 2004. The award is given out twice a year, for the Spring and Fall semesters. Each time, the award is given up to five students currently enrolled in a Transportation Course at a local university. The total award amount was $500 per semester until Fall 2006 when the award amount increased to $1,000. The students for the award are selected based on an article submitted by the student. The award is sponsored by Traffic Survey Specialists, Inc. and ITE Gold Coast Chapter.
