American Logistics Association Endowed Scholarship was established in 1978 by the Midwest Chapter of the American Logistics Association to support student veterans, students who are federal / state civil service employees or students whose parent fits in one of the previous categories. The American Logistics Association intention was to encourage students in those affinity areas to pursue a career in logistics related field.

The target group for these three scholarships in CBPA majors in pursuit of a career in logistics (e.g. business administration, accounting, procurement, distribution, agricultural science, handling the details of an operation, calculation…)

Logistics is a growing area with many job opportunities for qualified graduates. Some deserving students find that they need just a little extra help to be able to complete their degree. They may not fit into the most common categories, or they may have already received the maximum allowable for certain scholarships. You can be their lifesaver, the help they need to make it safely through the storm. Consider donating to the American Logistics Scholarship Fund today!
