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.
