Foundation Scholarship for Member Company Employees or Their Dependent Children

Drivers, dock workers, mechanics, office personnel - they are among the thousands of people each day who contribute to a strong, efficient motor transportation industry in Texas.

Many of these workers are or have dependents who are pursuing studies toward a higher education. The Texas Motor Transportation Foundation would like to help some of these students in their efforts by providing scholarships to Texas Motor Transportation Association (TMTA) company member employees or their dependents.

Scholarship recipients will be selected on the basis of their academic achievement, community involvement and financial need. The Foundation will provide financial assistance for college and trade school students. Scholarships may be used to meet such expenses as tuition, books, and housing.

The TMTA Foundation is a non-profit educational, public relations, research and community service organization created by the Texas Motor Transportation Association to promote the truck and bus industry to the people of Texas. TMTA represents more than 1,200 truck lines and allied industries operating in Texas.

Eligibility: Applicants must be high school graduates or seniors, and they must be an employee or a dependent of someone employed by a company with membership in the Texas Motor Transportation Association.

Application: A student seeking a scholarship should complete the attached application form and send it to the TMTA Foundation along with a recent black and white photograph, a certified copy of your transcript, one to three letters of recommendation and an accompanying letter of intent. This letter should include information on current and planned studies, career goals, interests, and the reason for applying for the scholarship.

Selection: Scholarship recipients will be chosen by the Board of Trustees of the Texas Motor Transportation Foundation and the scholarship funds will be sent directly to the recipient's school. The Board of Trustees comprise 15 members, at least three of whom are public trustees outside the motor transportation industry.

Deadline for applying: Applications must be received by close of business on Monday, June 16, 2008 for scholarships to be awarded for the 2008-2009 Academic Year.

2008 Scholarship Award Recipients will be announced the first week of August
