60 Students to Receive Scholarships Totaling Over $168,000 from TCA Scholarship Fund
June 25, 2024
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia:
The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), the only trade association whose sole focus is the truckload segment of the motor carrier industry, today named its 2024-25 TCA Scholarship Fund recipients who collectively will be receiving a total of $168,000.
Since 1973, the Fund has been providing scholarships to students associated with the trucking industry. Each scholarship recipient must be a student in good standing attending a four-year or two-year college or university and must be associated with a TCA member company.
TCA Scholarship Fund Chairman Joey Hogan of Covenant had this to say about today’s announcement and the large scholarship dollar amount. “TCA Scholarship Fund program is one of the best initiatives included in a TCA membership that helps to pay forward the honor of being a part of the truckload industry. We were proud to be able to increase the dollar awards by 25% even in a time of economic difficulty which exemplifies the priority of this program by the association. The Fund is excited to award scholarships to students at two-year colleges for the first time this year and we are very excited to continue to grow the program.”
Congratulations to this year’s scholarship recipients.
