Wabash National awards $95,000 in scholarships to high school graduates


Wabash National Corporation has awarded 24 recent high school graduates with scholarships that, combined, represent a total award of $95,000. Wabash National administered two scholarship programs for the 2018-19 academic year: one for children of Wabash National associates and another for children of the company’s supplier partners.

“We’ve enjoyed great success at Wabash National, and we’re proud to be able to pay it forward to our associates and valued suppliers by helping create the next generation of leaders,” said Brent Yeagy, president and chief executive officer. “We congratulate these students on their academic achievements and wish them success as they pursue their career goals.”
