CIFFA Announces Winners of the 2024 Scholarship Program

CIFFA is pleased to announce two winners of the 2024  CIFFA Scholarship Program: Hannah Murphy and Ava Hihn. This scholarship was created to raise awareness of global logistics as a career path and to encourage advanced education in international trade, logistics, and commerce. Hannah’s essay on the importance of continuing higher education to navigate the complexities of the ever-evolving global landscape truly resonated with the judges. It perfectly captured the vision of the scholarship, and CIFFA commends Hannah’s strong commitment to both her educational and professional growth. Hannah is described by her instructors and employer as “organized, dedicated, a reliable team member, a person of great integrity and someone who is deeply engaged in the learning process.”

Ava is described by instructors and employers as “exceptional” in her academic performance, leadership skills and dedication to her field of study. She is “a natural leader who inspires her peers through her collaborative approach and enthusiasm.” Her essay on Higher Education in Global Logistics thoroughly explored the multi-faceted approaches and strategies for success in the field.

CIFFA awarded cheques for $4,000 each to the scholarship recipients.

“I’d like to offer congratulations on this well-deserved recognition to both of our scholarship winners, to whom we wish a successful and rewarding academic year ahead,” said Bruce Rodgers, Executive Director of CIFFA.

CIFFA’s Scholarship Program aims to promote higher learning in international trade, logistics and commerce and increase awareness of freight forwarding as a career among children of CIFFA Regular Members’ employees. Scholarships in the amount of $4,000 are awarded to two individuals each year. Applications are accepted between June and August each year. Winners are announced at the September National Board of Directors meeting.
