NDTA Scholarship
Since its founding, one of the missions of NDTA has been “to support, conduct and assist programs of transportation education, science, research, and development, among private, industrial, educational and governmental agencies…” These programs required funding and, in 1961, the Association established the NDTA Foundation as a separate financial entity operating under NDTA to raise and provide the funds needed to accomplish this mission. A volunteer Board of Trustees supervises the Foundation’s activities.
The Foundation is funded by voluntary donations, which are tax-deductible under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Funds held by the Foundation cannot be used to meet operating expenses unrelated to the Foundation.
The purpose is to provide college scholarship opportunities for NDTA members and their dependents; to encourage high school graduates to consider academic pursuit of degrees in the fields of logistics, transportation, supply chain, physical distribution, and passenger travel services.
