Scholarships
In 2025, the TAC Foundation is pleased to offer students the opportunity to apply for scholarships valuing between $2500 and $6000. The scholarships are intended to help support their post-secondary education in transportation-related studies.
The scholarships are competitive and based on the applicant’s specific transportation goals, academic record and transportation-related activities or job skills.
Top applicants will be invited to share information about their employment interests with donor organizations through the Employment Connections component of our program.
