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.
MHEFI 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.
In addition to providing scholarships, funds also sponsor grants to faculty and students to attend off-campus industry conferences and seminars directly related to the field of material handling research, to colleges or universities for purchase of classroom instructional aids and lab materials and fellowships for special research.
Since 1976, the Foundation has awarded over $2,000,000 from contributions to fund hundreds of scholarships, faculty/student travel conference grants, instructional aid grants and fellowships. The affairs of the Foundation are administered at the offices of Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA).
