The Professional Loadmaster Association (PLA) offers five scholarships annually for college and/or Vocational/technical School after high school graduation. Current college or vocational/technical students may apply to complete their educational endeavor. We have two scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each named in honor of John L. Levitow and Bill Cannon. These are permanent scholarships. Three additional $500.00 scholarships, each named for a different deceased Loadmaster, will be awarded each year.

 

Candidates for the selection process must be from PLA members in good standing and their family members (sons, daughters or grandchildren, nieces and/or nephews), and are limited to one scholarship per applicant. If exceptional circumstances should arise, the Executive Committee will handle them accordingly
