The DDETFP encompasses all modes of transportation.
DDETFP was established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991, reauthorized in 1998 by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and reauthorized in 2005 by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)

1) Q: How many fellowships are awarded each year?
A: Approximately 150 to 200 Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships are awarded each year. To date, approximately 2,000 Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships have been awarded.
2) Q: How is the Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship funded?
A: U&GP administers the intermodal Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program on behalf of the Secretary of Transportation. A grant agreement is developed by U&GP (on behalf of USDOT) to fund the recipient's education at the university in a transportation-related discipline. All Federal funds are awarded competitively and none are awarded directly to the recipient.
3) Q: Do I have to be a U.S. citizen to apply?
A: No. Non-U.S. citizens must provide a certified copy of their I-20 or I-551 ID as issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). See OMB Publication #1115-0093.
4) Q: Since the application is online and it would be more convenient, can it be completed online?
A: No. The application is part of a process that requires original signatures from the applicant, faculty advisors, and others, and supporting documentation such as letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc. Due to the volume of applications and supporting documentation received annually, online applications are not available at this time.
5) Q: Should I submit an original and four copies of the application?
A: Yes, see #6. Per the instructions, a complete set of applications is sent to each member of the selection panel. Failure to submit the required 4 copies will result in your application not being reviewed by the selection panel.
6) Q: Is it required that reference letters be sent in a signed, sealed envelope?
A: If the recommender prefers to mail the reference letters, Four (4) copies plus the original should be placed in a signed and sealed envelope since U&GP is not responsible for making copies.
7) Q: What is the level of funding for an Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship?
A: All recipients may not receive a full award (i.e. tuition, stipend, and travel to the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting). Recipient awards will be based on the ranking given by the National Selection Panel or local selection panels at individual universities. Recipients will receive a minimum of $1,500 for travel to TRB, based on the ranking received.
8) Q: Does my application have to be postmarked by the due date or received by the due date?
A: Your application must be received in the Universities and Grants Programs (U&GP) office by the due date. Knowing that inclement weather plays a factor in the U&GP office receiving your application, please make sure that you send the application in enough time to make the deadline. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS FOR LATE APPLICATIONS!!
We are glad to help. If you do not find an answer to your question(s) here, please contact a member of the U&GP staff.
