Arizona Trucking Association Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist member employees’ children and grandchildren who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs. Scholarships are offered for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

  • Be high school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates, who plan to enroll in part-time** or full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university or vocational program for the entire upcoming academic year.

**Employees of AZ Trucking Association Member companies may attend part-time (six credits per term or the equivalent). Children or grandchildren must attend full-time (12 credits per term or the equivalent).

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $500 to $3,000.  Awards are not renewable, however students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Preference in the selection process will be given to applicants enrolled or planning to enroll in a field of study including business administration, diesel, truck body or truck mechanics.
