Thirty-one students pursuing education in material handling will get some help with their tuition bills this year. The Material Handling Education Foundation (MHEF) has awarded $90,000 in scholarships for the 2006/2007 academic year. The foundation, founded in 1976, receives its support from members of the Material Handling Industry of America and other interested parties. (DC VELOCITY is among the donors.)

Both graduate and undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the scholarships. The only restriction is that they must attend schools prequalified by the foundation.
