For the second year five individuals have received the Dwight D. Eisenhower Fellowship. This year the awarded students included Ryan Bickhaus and Ricardo Jacome, who also received the award in 2019, as well as Nathan Dowler, Luis Rodriguez, and Andrew Loken.
To be considered for the award, the students must be pursuing a degree in a transportation relate discipline. This year's five winners are currently graduate research assistants at NTC's MwRSF, where the mission is to improve safety of public roadways through the design and testing of roadside hardware.
The fellowship is awarded based on merit to 150-200 students a year, making five from the same organization quite an achievement, with the selection process including a national selection panel and university panels. The fellowships are structured to provide funding towards student projects and research they are conducting while in pursuit of their degrees.
