The Chattanooga-based moving company founded seven years ago near Auburn University by two Auburn students hasn't forgotten its roots.
Bellhops, a tech-enabled moving service, announced today that it will give away a $10,000 college scholarship.
The scholarship to be announced Sept. 25 is open to any applicant from across the country and is more than triple the $3,000 scholarship the moving company offered last year.
The company, which began as a college-based dorm-moving service in 2011, quickly grew into a full-service moving provider powered by an online app. However, Bellhops' co-founder and president, Cam Doody, says the company hasn't forgotten where it started.
"Our moving services may have grown far beyond our collegiate roots, but our commitment to college students hasn't," Doody said today in announcing the scholarship. "This scholarship program is an extension of that commitment, and I hope it will support and empower someone to chase their dreams like I did years ago."
Applications for the Bellhops Moving Forward Scholarship can apply online at www.getbellhops.com/scholarship/.
A valid application, which is due by Sept. 15, shall be comprised of the following: (1) a completed application form; (2) an essay; (3) an academic transcript; and (4) a photo.
