Logistics provider Globe Express Services has collaborated with three Chinese universities to launch its "GES Future CEO" scholarship program.

On Nov. 11, Nov. 25 and Dec. 9, GES presented GES Future CEO scholarship awards to winners at Dalian Maritime University, Shanghai Maritime University and Nankai University.
 
Through this program, the company hopes to encourage and support outstanding students who need financial aid to realize their dreams and aspirations. The GES Future CEO annual scholarship fund totals $47,400, which is used to support 100 excellent students. Grants of $16,600 to Nankai University and Dalian Maritime University are matched by the Chinese government, so the universities can generate double sponsorship to develop education. In honor of GES' founder Pierre Y. Abou Khater's personal mission to "provide more opportunities to oriental women," 70 percent of scholarship funding will be granted to female students.
 
"With this scholarship, we hope to support and encourage the entrepreneurship of university students," said GES CEO Ziad Korban. "We're inspired by the thought that this opportunity could change their lives."

Globe Express Services offers logistics services to companies doing business in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and around the world.
