MHEFI scholarships, sponsored by Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) member companies, are awarded each year to students dedicated to entering the material handling and logistics field, either within our member companies or the user community.

Awardees are pursuing educational goals that will enable them to enter the industry as engineers, project managers, management and professors in material handling and logistics. Many will be employed by end-users, by manufacturers or in MHIA member companies.

The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc. was established in 1976 as an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting material handling education.

The Foundation offers a variety of scholarships to students pursuing an education in material handling. These scholarships are grouped into three types of funds: Company Funds, Named Scholarship Funds and Material Handling Industry Product Section/Trade Association Funds. Contributors can choose a particular fund or an individual scholarship. The affairs of the Foundation are administered at the offices of Material Handling Industry of America.

For more information on how you can participate in the efforts of the Foundation, please contact Donna Varner, Administrator at 704-676-1190 or dvarner@mhia.org.
