Brighten Your Child’s Future with a Landstar Scholarship

Applications to the Landstar Scholarship Fund for the 2024-2025 academic school year are now available online. The deadline to apply is March 4, 2024.

The Landstar Scholarship Fund was established to recognize and reward outstanding undergraduate academic achievement and civic involvement of children of Landstar employees, independent business capacity owners (BCOs) leased to Landstar and independent sales agents. Since 1995, Landstar has awarded 401 scholarships, totaling more than $1 million.

Landstar Scholarship recipients are well-rounded individuals who succeed both in and out of the classroom and whose qualities exemplify Landstar’s commitment to excellence.

Scholarships are awarded based on a student’s:

  • Academic excellence
  • Community service
  • Extracurricular activities

Eligible candidates must meet the following criteria:

  • Scholarships are only available to children of full-time Landstar employees, independent BCOs and agents, as well as employees of BCOs and agents currently under contract with a Landstar company. Children of deceased Landstar employees, BCOs or agents who died while employed by or under contract with a Landstar company are also eligible for scholarships. Children of Landstar officers are ineligible to apply for the scholarship fund.
  • 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.
  • All candidates must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
  • Candidates enrolled in an accredited two- or four-year college or university must successfully complete a minimum of 12 credit hours before the application deadline (March 4, 2024.)
  • Candidates must also be planning to be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours per semester) at their college or university during the academic year for which the scholarship is granted.
