The MIT Supply Chain Management (MCM) master’s program has acknowledged 34 outstanding students from nine prestigious undergraduate institutions focusing on supply chain management and engineering throughout the United States. Twenty-one individuals have received the 2025 MIT Supply Chain Excellence Award, with 13 others receiving honorable mentions.
Presented on an annual basis, the MIT Supply Chain Excellence Awards commend undergraduate students who have shown remarkable aptitude in supply chain management or industrial engineering. The recipients hail from schools that have partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics’ Supply Chain Management master’s program since 2013 to enhance opportunities for graduate education and advance the discipline of supply chain and logistics.
This year, the MIT SCM master’s program has allocated over $800,000 in fellowship funding to the honorees. These students represent institutions such as Arizona State University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Lehigh University, Michigan State University, Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Mexico), Penn State University, Purdue University, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Syracuse University.
Winners may utilize their awards by applying to the SCM program after accumulating two to five years of professional experience following graduation. Fellowship funds can be directed towards tuition for the SCM master’s program at MIT, or at MIT Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network centers.
