Logistics students win transportation scholarships
Three San Jacinto College students – Ana Morales, Marlon Watts, and Amy West – received scholarships from the International Transportation Management Association in June.
The scholarship supports students pursuing transportation-related fields, including logistics, supply chain management, maritime administration, marine transportation, and international transportation focused on cargo movement, distribution, and warehousing.
To qualify for the scholarship, students must be enrolled in a logistics-related major, maintain a minimum 2.7 GPA, and complete at least 12 semester hours within the past year. The rigorous selection process reflects the scholarship program's commitment to supporting the next generation of transportation and logistics professionals as the industry continues to grow in the Houston area.
"I have been actively encouraging students to apply for this scholarship every semester," said Ivy Jenkins, logistics and supply chain management instructor. "Seeing students successfully apply and receive the award fills me with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Knowing that students I have mentored and taught have earned this prestigious honor reaffirms that the care, time, and effort I invested have produced a rewarding outcome."
Watts, one of the scholarship recipients, is a North Campus heavy diesel instructor. He earned his associate degree in May and hopes to pursue San Jac’s Bachelor of Applied Technology in logistics and supply chain management in spring 2026.
"Being recognized by an organization that champions the growth and development of students in the logistics and transportation field is incredibly rewarding," said Watts. "This award not only alleviates some of the financial stress of continuing my education but also inspires me to keep striving toward my goals. The industry is constantly evolving, and I'm confident further education will open new doors and empower me to make a meaningful impact.”
