“TCA’s scholarship program is a powerful example of our members investing in the future of the truckload industry. With the continued support of our donors and the inclusion of junior colleges, this program delivers real value to TCA members. I encourage everyone to share this opportunity with their employees and families.” said TCA Scholarship Fund Committee Chair and Covenant Logistics Board Member Joey Hogan.
For over 50 years, the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) Scholarship Fund has been helping students with connections to the truckload industry. Much of the program’s support comes from within the truckload TCA family—companies and individuals who are committed to our truckload community’s future. The Fund awards up to $6,250 per year, per full-time four-year college student and up to $2,000 per full-time two-year college student. In the current 2025-2026 academic year, the TCA Scholarship Fund’s Board of Trustees awarded a record 62 students scholarships totaling over $175,000.
Zander Gambill, TCA’s vice president of Membership and Outreach, also had this to say about the scholarship program. “The TCA Scholarship Fund is an incredible member benefit and a great way to engage employees and their families. I encourage all carriers and associate members to spread the word and take advantage of this opportunity.”
