Following their belief in social and civic duty, LJM Group is proud to offer transportation, logistics, and supply chain management students the opportunity to win up to $2,500 towards their college expenses.

“In a rapidly changing industry, innovation is key. We’re excited to support young minds with a passion to change the landscape of logistics,” said Ken Wood, President and Founder of LJM Group. “Staying ahead of market trends and keeping costs low is a constant struggle, and we are proud to support those who are willing and eager to conquer such a challenge.”

There are two levels of scholarship opportunities being offered. $1,000 per academic year is available for students submitting a 500-word essay introducing themselves and outlining their career goals in today’s supply chain community. $2,500 per academic year is also available for students submitting either an 800-word essay outlining their career goals in today’s supply chain community and discussing a logistics or ecommerce trend that is changing the face of global supply chain OR a 400-word essay accompanied by a video outlining their career goals in today’s supply chain community and discussing a logistics or ecommerce trend that is changing the face of global supply chain.

The scholarship is available to full-time Junior and Senior undergraduate students as well as PhD and Masters-level students conducting research in transportation, logistics, or supply chain management while maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
