Applicants must be pursuing a major in supply chain management, business forecasting, or a closely related program and intend to seek a career in the supply chain field.

Award Value

Each year John Galt Solutions awards two scholarships, each valued at US$10,000. The amount is intended to assist with tuition and other education-related expenses for the award year. The program awards the two scholarships independently—each recipient receives the full $10,000.

- Two separate awards per year
- Each award is US$10,000

Award Disbursement

Scholarship funds are issued by check and made payable directly to the recipient’s educational institution rather than to the individual. Payment is intended to be applied toward tuition or institutional charges in accordance with the school’s policies. John Galt Solutions coordinates disbursement after recipients are selected and verified.

- Payment made by check to the recipient’s school
- Funds applied according to the institution’s billing policies
- Disbursement follows recipient verification

Selection Criteria

Applicants are evaluated on three distinct areas: demonstrated passion for supply chain and forecasting, dedication to personal and professional growth, and demonstrated financial need. Evaluators expect clear examples of relevant activities, leadership, internships, coursework, or community involvement that show commitment to a supply chain career. Each of the three areas must be addressed fully in the motivational letter; failure to do so will result in disqualification.

- Evaluation focuses on passion for supply chain, personal growth, and financial need
- Concrete examples of experience and commitment strengthen applications
- Applicants must address all three evaluation areas to remain eligible

Required Documents

Two documents are required for a complete application: a motivational letter and proof of current enrollment. The motivational letter must be 500–750 words and explicitly cover the three evaluation areas—passion for supply chain, dedication to growth, and financial need. Proof of enrollment can be an official transcript or other documentation from the institution confirming full-time undergraduate status for the current academic year.

- Motivational letter: 500–750 words, must address all three required areas
- Proof of enrollment: official transcript or equivalent verification
- Incomplete submissions will not be considered
