California Transportation Foundation

CTF administers 47 different scholarships for California students interested in studying a transportation-related field. CTF scholarships support students from high school through graduate level studies in a variety of disciplines. CTF scholarship partners determine the criteria for their respective scholarship awards, and CTF provides resources to assist with scholarship publicity, evaluation, and fundraising, and CTF disburses scholarship awards to students.

CTF supports families of transportation workers who are injured or killed on the job with fallen worker grants, and assistance and memorial funds. Additionally CTF provides emergency relief grants to families of transportation workers who lose a home due to a natural disaster such as a fire, flood, or earthquake. These grants and assistance funds are essential to families who are experiencing a crisis, as benefits often take some time to reach the family in need, and CTF is able to act quickly to provide financial support when they may otherwise be unable to access needed funds.
