ASME RTD STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Rail Transportation Division (RTD) continues to be a strong supporter of collegiate researchers,
both professors and students, who play a vital role in the advancement of the rail industry. To this end, the ASME RTD offers the ASME RTD Graduate and
Undergraduate Student Scholarships, which give students the opportunity to network with rail professionals, present rail research publications, and

exchange ideas on rail technological innovations and solutions at the ASME Joint Rail Conference (JRC). Most importantly, the scholarships increase the
awareness of the rail engineering discipline from both an academic and professional perspective. Since 2011, the ASME Rail Transportation Division has
awarded $73,850.00 in student conference scholarships to 71 deserving graduate and undergraduate students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities

with an interest in rail.
