The Truck Renting and Leasing Association plans to launch the TRALA Industry Scholarship Program.
The new program will annually award up to four $5,000 scholarships for students pursuing a course of study relating to the truck transportation industry at an accredited vocational program.

Courses of study may include, but are not limited to, heavy-duty truck technology, diesel technology, industrial mechanics and medium/heavy vehicle technology.

The TRALA Industry Scholarship Program scholarship will be open to employees of TRALA member companies and their children and dependents. There is no age limit for applicants and military veterans will be encouraged to participate.

"The Industry Scholarship Program will help to insure that the most promising vocational students have an opportunity to pursue their career study regardless of their financial means," says TRALA President and CEO Tom James.

Applications for the TRALA Industry Scholarship will be accepted on a year-round basis, and scholarships will be awarded twice a year.
