Now in its fifth year, the R. Gene Richter Scholarship Program has grown to be the largest nationally recognized scholarship program in the field of supply chain management. To date, a total of 31 scholarships have been granted, recognizing students at leading universities across the country.

Previous Richter scholars are working in leading supply organizations across the country — from Seattle to Atlanta. This year is very exciting for the Richter Foundation because we’ve been able to expand the number of scholarships we can offer as a result of our partnership with ISM and the wonderful support we receive from our sponsors.

Seven recipients of R. Gene Richter Scholarships will be honored May 5, 2008 at an awards dinner held during Institute for Supply Management™’s (ISM) 93rd Annual International Supply Management Conference and Educational Exhibit in St. Louis.

Richter Scholars have the benefit of participating in two mentoring programs. The Executive Mentoring Program pairs the Richter Scholar with an established senior executive and in the Junior Mentoring Program, Richter Scholars benefit from insights of a former Richter Scholar.

Mentoring

The R. Gene Richter Scholarship Program identifies the supply leaders of tomorrow. The goal is to fast-track high potential students into the profession through a combination of tuition assistance, mentoring programs and networking opportunities.
