CHICAGO – January 25, 2020 - Gebrüder Weiss USA, a global freight forwarder with a core business of overland transport, air, and sea freight and logistics, has made a gift to Loyola University Chicago to provide scholarships for Quinlan School of Businessstudents.

Gebrüder Weiss developed its scholarship program to support creating a diverse workforce in logistics and to support educational opportunities for those with economic struggles. The company selected Loyola University Chicago to participate in the new "Gebrüder Weiss Supply Chain Leadership Scholarship" program because of its exceptional academics and preparation for the supply chain and logistics field.

"As our US leadership team contemplated what we could do to help improve equity in the supply chain and logistics industry in America, we knew education was one of the answers," said Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss USA. "We must take action if we want to experience change. We are proud that we can provide scholarship funds for Loyola students studying supply chain management, and we hope our investment supports the growth of a more diverse workforce in the future," McCullough added.

Scholarships will be awarded to students in for the 2020-2021 academic year. Students interested in pursuing a “Gebrüder Weiss Supply Chain Leadership” scholarship may apply at LUC.academicworks.com.
