Scholarships and Special Rates

Distribution Business Management (DBM) Association is a not-for-profit educational forum that is dedicated to bringing together universities and corporations from all over the world for the purpose of studying and improving the science of distribution, logistics and supply chain management. DBM is committed to providing a forum for sharing knowledge and creating alliances with industry practitioners to help in improving their logistics management skills and have a positive impact on their business.

Scholarships

The DBM Association reserves a portion of its sponsorship monies for our scholarship program. The program is unique to the Association. In essence, the program allows you to attend for 50% off the cost. For 2006, that means a scholarship invitation will allow you to attend for $495. This is a significant savings for such a world-class conference.

You must be invited to attend via our scholarship application, presented by companies participating in the Supply Chain Interactive Lab. Persons with special circumstances may also apply for scholarships by contacting the Executive Director of the Association.

The Importance of Scholarships:
