The Defense Logistics Agency Foundation is offering scholarships to students with a close family connection to a current or former DLA employee.

Appointees to military service academies are not eligible.
Applications will be judged mainly on merit and financial need. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid Report will be used to determine financial need, and the maximum expected family contribution that will be considered is 15,000.
