Scholarships Available to Students of Landstar Network

Is your child a college student or senior in high school who is successful in and out of the classroom and whose qualities exemplify Landstar's commitment to excellence?

Applications to the Landstar Scholarship Fund for the 2025-2026 academic school year are now available. The deadline to apply is March 3, 2025.

The Landstar Scholarship Fund was established to recognize and reward outstanding undergraduate academic achievement and civic involvement of children of Landstar employees, independent business capacity owners (BCOs) leased to Landstar and independent sales agents. Since 1995, Landstar has awarded 414 scholarships, totaling nearly $1.1 million.

Scholarships are awarded based on a student's:

  • Academic excellence
  • Community service
  • Extracurricular activities

Eligible candidates must meet the following criteria:

  • Scholarships are only available to children of full-time Landstar employees, independent BCOs and independent agents, as well as employees of BCOs and agents currently under contract with a Landstar company. Children of deceased Landstar employees, BCOs or agents who died while employed by or under contract with a Landstar company are also eligible for scholarships. Children of Landstar officers are ineligible to apply for the scholarship fund.
  • Eligible candidates must be enrolled in high school full-time and be planning to be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours/semester) at an accredited two- or four-year college or university, or must already be enrolled in a two- or four-year college or university and have successfully completed a minimum of 12 credit hours before the application deadline (March 3, 2025.)
  • All candidates must also be planning to be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours per semester) at their college or university during the academic year for which the scholarship is granted.
  • All candidates must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
