J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. recently announced that it has awarded scholarships to 100 new recipients for its J.B. Hunt Scholarship for Families program. Since the program began in 2022, J.B. Hunt has provided a total of $687,500 in financial assistance for the families of J.B. Hunt employees.
The program has been incredibly successful, leading J.B. Hunt to renew it in 2024. Applications for the program will open in the first quarter of next year. Each scholarship provides $2,500 per school year and is renewable for up to four years.
In the second year of the program, J.B. Hunt awarded a total of $437,500 in both new and renewed scholarships. This year’s recipients come from over 50 locations across the country.
“We really love this program because it provides an opportunity to help our employees support the dreams of their children and grandchildren,” said Brad Hicks, president of highway services and executive vice president of people at J.B. Hunt. “We are very proud of this year’s class and excited to see the future they create as part of the J.B. Hunt family.”
