Since July of 1990, the AACA has been in the business of sponsoring scholarships. At present we have a fully paid endowed scholarship in the amount of $35,000 with Georgia State University - The Marv Gordon Scolarship. We are establishing endowed scholarships for $25,000 each for Clayton College and State University and Georgia Southern University.
In addition to these endowments, in 2001 the AACA established individual scolarships for our members or family of our members. Scholarships are awarded to students attending an accedited Georgia college or university and studying in the logistics, transportation, or international business fields. Our winners thus far are:
