Each year the trustees of the L.L. Waters Scholarship program meet in Indianapolis, Indiana to determine the winner of the annual L. L. Waters Scholarship.

The L.L. Waters Scholarship Program was established to encourage advanced undergraduate study and graduate study in the field of transportation/logistics/physical distribution, for the purpose of preparing persons of high potential for professional careers in the field. The scholarship has been named in honor of Dr. L.L. Waters, university professor emeritus of transportation and business history in Indiana University's School of Business, in recognition of his many contributions to undergraduate and graduate level education in transportation and logistics during a teaching career of more than three decades.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2009 award, which will be presented during the AST&L annual meeting in Anaheim, California on Sunday, November 15.

Any undergraduate student in their junior year at a fully accredited four-year U.S. college or university, who is enrolled in a degree program in which transportation/logistics is their area of concentration, is eligible for the scholarship. Students enrolled in, or accepted to, a fully accredited college or university in the pursuit of graduate studies in transportation/logistics/physical distribution as their concentration of study are also eligible. Recipients are selected without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Awards will be on a competitive basis, based upon scholastic performance and potential, and evidence of the degree of commitment to the pursuit of a professional career in transportation/logistics.
