Since 1993, the NATSO Foundation has annually awarded Bill Moon Scholarships to industry employees and their children to help offset the cost of a college education. The scholarships are meant to recognize truckstop employees and their dependents who have shown academic excellence.
"The Bill Moon Scholarships allow the NATSO Foundation to recognize the achievements and nourish the dreams of those who represent the future of our industry," said NATSO Foundation Chairman Delia Moon Meier.
Applicants are judged by an independent review committee and selections are made based upon academic merit, extracurricular and community activities, and a short essay.
