Samsara and Trucking HR Canada Launch Scholarship to Champion the Next Generation of Transportation Leaders
October 15, 2025
$5,000 award to support students from trucking families and celebrate the people powering Canada's supply chain
TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2025 — Samsara (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations® Platform, today announced a new scholarship in partnership with Trucking HR Canada to support the next generation of trucking leaders. The one-time $5,000 scholarship, revealed at the 2025 Top Fleet Employers Gala, will be awarded to a post-secondary student whose parent works in the trucking and logistics industry, helping to invest in the future of Canada’s transportation sector while honoring the families who keep it moving.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Trucking HR Canada to support students with deep ties to the transportation industry,” said Charlie Cubeta, Senior Manager at Samsara, Canada. “This scholarship is our way of giving back by recognizing the hard-working families that form the backbone of our economy, while simultaneously investing in the next generation of innovators and leaders.”
The scholarship is open to students enrolled in an accredited college or university in Canada. To be eligible, applicants must have a parent employed by a company that is a Top Fleet Employer company of Trucking HR Canada.
Applicants must submit a two-minute video filmed vertically in a style for social media. The video will not be assessed on any editing or production quality. Applicants are encouraged to share personal stories by responding to one of three prompts. The prompts ask students to reflect on how their parent's career has made them feel proud or inspired, shaped their values, or influenced their understanding of the broader economy and supply chain.
“Trucking HR Canada and Samsara have a shared goal to support our sector and the families who shoulder responsibility for making Canada’s supply chain run,” said Angela Splinter, CEO, Trucking HR Canada. “Our Top Fleet Employer program is the perfect conduit for this funding that invests in our collective commitment to the long-term future success of the sector.”
This initiative reflects Samsara’s ongoing commitment to supporting the essential workers and industries that power the global economy—starting with the people behind the wheel and the families behind them.
Applications will open on November 15, 2025, and can be submitted via the Trucking HR Canada website.
