Students from the Asean region holding a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 are invited to write an essay of about 1,000 words in length on any aspect of the auto shipping industry, such as shipping cars overseas, enclosed car shipping, door to door vehicle transport, etc.

Applications for the scholarship programme can be submitted any time up until March 10, 2019. Submissions need to be emailed to scholarships[AT]a1autotransport[DOT]com, along with the student’s name, contact information and name of the school they will attend in 2019.
