The Railway Tie Association, a railroad supply organization, has a vested interest in the continued improvement of all railroad-related products.
Meeting the evolving challenges of the railroad sector in the coming decades will necessitate not only top-notch products but also the foresight, determination, and technical expertise of railroad industry suppliers.
In our continued efforts to support the next generation of leaders in the industry, RTA is delighted to announce we will again be offering two scholarships, each valued at $5,000, for the 2025-2026 academic year.
RTA believes that investing in the education and development of future industry leaders is a crucial step toward ensuring the ongoing success and innovation of railroads.
We encourage eligible candidates to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to further their education and make a positive impact on the future of the railroad sector. Together, we can contribute to drive progress and excellence within the industry.
Each application will be reviewed with emphasis placed on the following criteria:
- Scholastic achievement: 60%
- Leadership qualities: 30%
- Career objectives: 25%
