ANN ARBOR, MI- Keisha Maloney of Brooklin, Ontario, is the only Canadian winner in Con-Way’s scholarship program this year. She will attend the University of Ottawa.

Scholarship recipients are full-time students whose parents have worked for Con-way Freight, Con-way Truckload or Menlo Logistics or the company’s corporate and administrative organizations for three years in a row or longer.

It’s an honor to support these exemplary young people in their pursuit of collegiate achievement.”

Con-Way has awarded $200,000 to 169 students – 51 new and 118 returning students – through its scholarship program in 2014. Over the past 20 years, the company’s scholarship program has awarded about $4-million in grants to more than 1,300 students.

The application period for the 2015 – 2016 scholarship program will open in December of 2014 and will close in February of 2015. Eligible employees can get a scholarship application for their children at the company’s website, or through their human resources representative. Scholarship America is the administrator of Con-way’s Scholarship Program, and all grants are renewable for up to three years, or upon completion of a bachelor’s degree or vocational program.
