These scholarships are sponsored by the CN Endowment Fund and by generous donations from our other industry supporters and friends. This year’s program will feature up to four scholarships for Michigan Tech first-year students interested in learning more about the rail industry.
Amount of Award: Each scholarship awarded will be in the amount of $500.
