Each year the NATSO Foundation’s Bill and Carolyn Moon Scholarship program distributes thousands of dollars to students to pursue their educational goals. In 2024, the foundation will award five, $5,000 scholarships to truck stop and travel center employees and/or their legal dependents.
The scholarship program is an amazing employee benefit, and truckstops and travel plaza operators should encourage all of their employees to submit a 2024 Bill and Carolyn Moon Scholarship Application here by the May 17, 2024, deadline.
