Pursuing a college degree is a little easier for 13 new Landstar Scholarship recipients. Names of the recipients for the 2024-2025 academic year were revealed in April at Landstar’s annual Agent Convention.
Since 1995, Landstar has awarded 414 scholarships totaling nearly $1.1 million to the children of Landstar agents, BCOs and employees. The scholarship fund was established to recognize outstanding undergraduate achievement and civic involvement.
An independent selection committee of professors from the University of North Florida evaluated the applications and chose 13 of those applicants to receive $4,000 each.
