In this case it depends on who's funding the grant. There are apparently other grants that have other lists of companies on them, where TransAm is on the list -- I have seen those lists but didn't go through that grant.

TransAm actually did send a recruiter to our school, and at least one of the guys in my class intends to go with them and i didn't hear anything from them or about them in my research that raises red flags.
