Iowa Motor Carriers Foundation
Awards Scholarships
 

The Iowa Motor Carriers Foundation awarded its annual scholarships to students recently. Scholarships in the amount of $1000 was given to the recipients this year and all the students will be attending Iowa colleges or universities this summer or fall. As always the selection committee had a tough job of narrowing the field down. Over 20 individuals applied for the scholarships and all of the applicants were excellent.

Each year the Iowa Motor Carriers Foundation makes an investment in the future of the State by awarding $1000 scholarships to eligible recipients. The foundation has been awarding scholarships since 1986 and almost $50,000 in total scholarship dollars has been awarded.

The scholarship program is available to anyone who is going to be attending an Iowa based college or university. Applications are made available January 1st and the deadline for the applications is March 15. Currently there are several endowed scholarships; the Paul Crouse Scholarship, the Harold Dickey Scholarship, The Caterpillar Scholarship for a diesel mechanic student and the Cummins Scholarship for a diesel mechanic student, the L.W. Verne Simpson Scholarship, the Iowa Council of Safety Management Scholarship, the Bob Bannister Memorial Scholarship, and the Darryl Mason Scholarship. To have an endowed scholarship that is specifically named for someone or something, a contribution of $10,000 must be made to the Iowa Motor Carriers Foundation.
