OOIDA Announces 2017 Scholarship Recipients<\/h3>\n

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association announced the recipients of the 2017-2018 Mary Johnston Scholarship Fund.<\/p>\n

Five top scholars were chosen for this honor.\u00a0 To apply, the students were asked to submit a 500-word reflection essay on how a trucker has influenced their life, the way their educational goals resonate with their personalities and to make suggestions for how OOIDA can improve the public image of the professional truck driver.<\/p>\n

Scholarship awards are available each year for children, grandchildren and legal dependents of OOIDA members.\u00a0 To recognize the value of their hard work, each award is renewable for up to three years.<\/p>\n

OOIDA sends a special thanks to Shell Rotella for their continued support. Shell Rotella donated $10,000 to the scholarship fund for the eighth straight year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
