2018-2019 Landstar Scholarship Applications

Applications for the Landstar Scholarship Fund for the 2018-19 academic school year are now available. The deadline to apply is March 5, 2018.

The Landstar Scholarship Fund was established to recognize and reward outstanding undergraduate academic achievement and civic involvement of children of Landstar employees, business capacity owners (BCOs) and independent sales agents.

  • Eligible candidates must be enrolled in high school full time and be planning to be enrolled full time (12 or more credit hours/semester) at an accredited two- or four-year college or university during the academic year for which the scholarship may be granted.
