How to Apply
The application process is a two-part process.
Paper applications will be accepted beginning January 2012. The Recruitment Management System (RMS) applications will be posted by March 1, 2012.
The deadline for both types of applications will be posted at the same that the RMS applications are posted.
If you have questions, contact: Scholarship@vdot.virginia.gov
You are eligible to apply if you:
- Are a rising junior or senior in an undergraduate ABET-accredited civil engineering program

The scholarship application process is a two-step process. This is different from the application process for other VDOT programs.
STEP ONE: Complete an online state application through Virginia’s Recruitment Management System (RMS):
- Go to the RMS site, https://jobs.agencies.virginia.gov/applicants/Central?search=501 , and complete an application profile. We recommend that you download a "Quick Reference Guide" to assist you.
- Once your application profile is complete, apply for position number CO707. You may attach resumes, transcripts, and reference letters as desired.
STEP TWO: Complete and submit a Word document application.
- Download and complete the Engineer Scholarship Program application. Include your signature. If you are under 21, include the signatures from your parent/guardian.
- Scan the document and e-mail the completed application to scholarship@vdot.virginia.gov, or mail your completed application to:
