(F) About the 2014 STIPDG PROGRAM EXPERIENCE: MANAGEMENT/BENEFITS

Now in its 24^th year, the 2014 Summer Transportation Internship Program for Diverse Groups is a critical component of the U.S. DOT/FHWA’s student recruitment efforts. The STIPDG is committed to ensuring a quality experience in transportation. The program is unique because of the many program benefits and features that are listed below.

2014 STIPDG PARTICIPANTS’ BENEFITS

• 2014 STIPDG Stipends: Since the STIPDG experience is a special training opportunity and not a Federal job, participants do not receive annual or sick leave or other Federal Government benefits during their 10 weeks. As mentioned above, students are not Federal employees and become employees of the Contractor selected to manage the daily activities. Law and Graduate Participants will receive a total stipend not-to exceed $5000, and Undergraduate participants will receive a total stipend not- to-exceed $4000, for their 10 weeks. The bi-weekly stipends are subject to taxation in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and are distributed via the payroll account of the Contractor selected to manage the daily activities of the 2014 STIPDG. The Contractor also will be responsible for forwarding a W-4 and I-9 to all STIPDG 2014 participants for that tax year.
• 2014 STIPDG Housing: During the program, participants will reside in housing procured by the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating and paying for all housing for STIPDG 2014 participants. The Contractor, not the student, is responsible for all 2014 STIPDG housing arrangements. The Contractor verifies with the FHWA that the housing is decent, safe, FEMA-approved, and ADA-compliant and accessible. Housing will be in close proximity to the worksites for approved assignments and can include placement in the Washington, D.C. area or throughout the United States. The program only provides funding for shared housing for participants accepting assignments more than 50 miles (one way) away from their permanent residences. Actual housing accommodations will vary by location and can include college/university quarters. Housing accommodations can and typically do require shared-living arrangements with other interns. Participants may opt not to accept the shared housing, but will not be reimbursed by the Contractor, U.S. DOT, FHWA, or other participating program office, for housing obtained independently, and without the advanced written approval of the Contractor and Office of Human Resources. Housing is provided solely for 2014 STIPDG participants and cannot be used for non-participants. Participants who fail to honor the STIPDG 2014 housing requirements will forfeit all remaining stipends and other related benefits and will be immediately removed from the program.
• 2014 STIPDG Transportation and Related Travel: Through the Contractor, the STIPDG 2014 Program pays for all travel and transportation expenses associated with relocations for participants whose permanent residence is more than 50 miles (one way) away from their assignment location. The Contractor, not the student, will be responsible for procuring and securing, all primary transportation and travel related to the participants’ assignments. This specifically includes travel expenses to and from the participants’ homes to their assigned summer assignment locations and back, travel associated with approved conferences, workshops, and field trips specific to the assignments, and travel associated with closeout activities in Washington, D.C. Again, this only applies when the assignment is more than 50 miles (one-way) from the participants’ residence.
• A Special Note Regarding College Credit: Colleges/Universities with students selected for the 2014 STIPDG are encouraged to grant three (3) academic college credits to the interns upon the completion of the program. However, the college or university officials at each institution are the authority on final decisions. Students should discuss arrangements with their institutions, prior to starting the program.

The program is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus National Geographic Society and Education Foundation Board. This opportunity is designed to give current K-12 classroom teachers and informal educators from the 50 U.S. states, Canada, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico the opportunity to extend Grosvenor’s legacy of excellence in geographic education. Through the program, exemplary educators are recognized for their commitment to geographic education and are given the opportunity to be actively engaged in finding new ways to bring geographic awareness to their classrooms or informal learning environments through a field-based experience.

For the online application and more information about the 2014 program, see www.natgeoed.org/gtf. The application deadline is January 5, 2014.

 

2013 Program Highlights
Selected educators traveled aboard the ship National Geographic Explorer in June, July, or August 2013 to Norway, Arctic Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland, or the Canadian High Arctic. While aboard, Fellows shared the importance of geo-literacy with fellow travelers, developed activities to bring back to their classrooms, and had the adventure of a lifetime. Prior to the expedition, all 2013 Grosvenor Teacher Fellows traveled to Washington, D.C. on April 25-28th with all expenses covered to participate in a pre-trip workshop sponsored by Google, National Geographic, and Lindblad Expeditions.
