    For nearly a decade, global logistics provider C.H. Robinson has shown its appreciation for the truck driving community by awarding scholarships to employees and dependent children of its 73,000 contract carriers.

    This year, the C.H. Robinson Foundation is offering 25 scholarships of $2,500 each. Applications will be accepted through Feb. 28.

    The Contract Carrier Scholarship is open to employees or dependent children of carriers that have been a C.H. Robinson contract carrier for a minimum of one year as of the application date.

    Applicants must also:

    • Be age 16 to 24 or regular, full-time employees of the qualified carrier.
    • Be high-school seniors, high-school graduates or current post-secondary undergraduates. Students outside the United States must be in their final year of upper or higher secondary school or be current technical or university-level students.
    • Pursue undergraduate study in any field for the entire 2022-23 academic year at an accredited or bona fide college, university or vocational-technical school. Schools outside of the United States are considered bona fide if they have a student population, defined curriculum, faculty and campus.
    • Enroll in full-time study if they’re a dependent, but can enroll in part-time study if employees of qualified carriers.

    Scholarship winners are chosen on the basis of their academic record, school and community activities, work experience, and a statement on their educational and career goals.
