The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc., the philanthropic arm of MHI, announced last week it had distributed $231,700 in scholarships to 61 material handling, supply chain, and logistics students for the 2024/2025 academic year.
In a May 9 news release, MHEFI said the award is its highest dollar amount ever and reflects its commitment to supporting education in material handling, logistics, and supply chain management.
The scholarships, ranging from $1,500 to $6,000, were granted to undergraduate students who demonstrated outstanding academic performance, maintaining a "B" grade point average or higher in their major.
Recipients were selected based on their dedication to these fields of study and their potential to positively impact the industry.
"We are immensely grateful to our sponsors whose generous contributions make these scholarships possible,” Brian Neuwirth, MHEFI president, said. “These students show incredible potential and dedication, and we are honored to support their journey into the material handling and supply chain industry.”
