The Tennessee Trucking Foundation awards Tommy Hodges Scholarships each year, worth $2,500 for general applicants and $3,000 for dependents, spouses, or employees of Tennessee Trucking Association member companies. The program is open to Tennessee college students and students dually enrolled in Tennessee. Selection weighs academic record alongside an original essay about the trucking industry, with no minimum or maximum GPA required. TTA membership is not required to receive the base award, and applications open each August and close in winter.
