Apply Now: MHEFI Scholarship Application Open Through Jan. 29
The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc. (MHEFI) wants to help the next generation of supply chain talent get started. MHEFI is now accepting scholarship applications for the 2027-28 academic year from undergraduates preparing for careers in material handling, logistics or supply chain.
The supply chain field is brimming with opportunities. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of industrial engineers will grow 12% from 2025 to 2035, much faster than the average for all occupations. Industrial engineering is one of the many careers that a MHEFI scholarship supports.
What the Scholarships Offer
Awards range from $1,500 to $6,000 and can be used for tuition, fees and books associated with full-time study. Scholarships are one-year awards, and former recipients may reapply each year if they meet the eligibility requirements.
Who Is Eligible
Applicants must:
• Be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate pursuing a material handling, logistics or supply chain career
• Be classified as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior for the Fall 2027 term
• Attend an accredited, non-profit college or university in the United States
• Maintain a “B” grade point average or higher in their major
Students should also be enrolled in a target program, such as industrial engineering, industrial distribution, engineering technology, supply chain management, computer science related to material handling and supply chain, or a related engineering or business administration program.
How to Apply
Students can review the full requirements and apply by the Jan. 29, 2027 deadline. Questions may be sent to Mary Alyson Ammons, MHEFI Executive Director, at mammons@mhi.org.
Established in 1976, MHEFI is an independent charitable organization that has supported more than 1,500 students and educators on their pathways to quality educational programs and fulfilling careers. To support MHEFI’s mission, visit mhi.org/mhefi/donors.
