Cat Lift Trucks to award 13th annual $5,000 scholarship to high school student

Cat Lift Trucks, a leading provider of lift trucks, has announced its deadline for applications for the 13th annual Cat Lift Trucks scholarship program.

This year, the program will award a Northbrook High School senior in Spring Branch Independent School District (ISD) in Houston with a $5,000 scholarship toward his or her higher education in the state of Texas.

“We’re proud to announce this year’s annual Cat Lift Trucks scholarship program,” said Kent Eudy, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Cat Lift Trucks. “This is our 13th year to offer the $5,000 scholarship program, and every year we continue to be equally impressed by the high standards and achievements of those students that apply. It’s a great tradition and one that we’re excited to continue in 2017.”

Scholarship applications will be reviewed and evaluated based on academics, financial need, leadership, community involvement and two narrative essays. Students must plan to attend an accredited college, university or technical school within the state of Texas in the fall of 2017 and major in engineering or a business-related field or a technical field related to our business.

Applications must be postmarked by 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, 2017. The scholarship recipient will be formally awarded the funds during a reception in March 2017 at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, where Cat Lift Trucks has served as the official lift truck provider for 13 consecutive years.
