Cambridge, MA – The MIT Supply Chain Management Master’s Program has recognized thirty-four exceptional students from nine renowned undergraduate programs specializing in supply chain management and engineering across the United States.

Presented annually, the MIT Supply Chain Excellence Awards honor undergraduate students who have demonstrated outstanding talent in supply chain management or industrial engineering. These students originate from the institutions that have partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics’ Supply Chain Management master’s program since 2013 to expand opportunities for graduate study and advance the field of supply chain and logistics.

In this year’s awards, the MIT SCM Master’s Program has provided over $800,000 in fellowship funding to thirty-four deserving recipients. These students come from respected schools like Arizona State University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Lehigh University, Michigan State University, Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Mexico), Penn State University, Purdue University, UMass: Amherst, and Syracuse University.

Recipients can use their awards by applying to the SCM program after gaining two to five years of professional experience post-graduation. The fellowship funds can be applied towards tuition fees for the SCM master’s program at MIT or at MIT Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network centers.
