The Conditional Grant Program is a grant that will provide financial assistance to eligible economically disadvantaged students interested in working for the Texas Department of Transportation. The grant consists of tuition, fees and stipend. The Conditional Grant Program is available to eligible students pursuing a degree in engineering or a TxDOT-approved operational business discipline.
