Billy White Technician Scholarship Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Tennessee Trucking Foundation
Designed for aspiring diesel technicians, this scholarship supports technical education to prepare students for a successful career in the trucking industry.
Upon selection for the award, the student will receive a $1500 scholarship payable to the student to be applied to the student’s educational costs.
The second part of the scholarship award will consist of $1000 payable to the student upon successful completion of one year’s full-time employment at a TTA member company.
