Notice of available grant funding for educational institutions to participate as a host site
The Federal Highway Administration and the Minnesota Department of Transportation Office of Civil Rights are accepting applications from educational institutions to participate as a host site for the National Summer Transportation Institute 2025 program.
NSTI program objectives are to:
- improve STEM skills,
- provide awareness to middle and high school students about transportation careers (particularly minority, female and disadvantaged youth) and
- encourage participants to consider transportation-related fields of study in their higher education pursuits.
NSTI host sites must commit significant program time to classroom instruction. The length of the NSTI program is typically 2-4 consecutive weeks. Host sites may elect to operate a day program, virtual program, or residential program, with room and board provided by the host site. Host sites may propose more than one program. A complete application must be submitted for each program proposed.
The FHWA will fund the 2025 NSTI Program and MnDOT will administer the application process and provide program oversight to selected host sites. The proposed NSTI program would occur during the period beginning June 1, 2025 through August 31, 2025.
