Give your students a front-row seat to the supply chain industry. MHI and MHEFI offer limited travel grants, stipends, and a small block of discounted hotel rooms to help schools and individuals attend. Awards are first-come, first-served for eligible applications and notifications are sent by email.
How it works
- Register for Student Day.
- Apply early. Funds are limited and reviewed in the order received. The deadline for travel stipend applications is March 31, 2027.
- Secure your roster. Once approved, submit all student names and emails in the registration system by March 31, 2027. Names added after the deadline won’t count toward the final payment.
