In light of the escalating costs associated with education, ensuring access to learning opportunities is paramount. It’s with this commitment in mind that the Pat Gallagher Scholarship fund was established in 2020.

Conceived by Alpine Supply Chain Solutions in honor of Pat Gallagher, a founding member of the company, the scholarship recognizes two promising individuals annually with $2,500 each to support their educational endeavors, whether it be tuition, textbooks, or other scholastic necessities.

Pat, a seasoned veteran with 25 years of experience in supply chain engineering, played a pivotal role in designing, constructing, and managing distribution center networks for numerous Fortune 500 companies. The recipients of the Pat Gallagher Scholarship embody traits of hard work, determination, and a passion for the supply chain industry. According to Pat’s wife, Lori, “Pat would have been thrilled to know that he’s contributing to the education of young engineers. He was always eager to mentor others and had a deep love for his profession.”

This year marks a milestone as both scholarship recipients are women: Madeline Wine and Hana Turkmani, both juniors pursuing degrees in Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University.

Both Madeline and Hana are extremely engaged at MSU. Madeline is a member of Delta Sigma Pi, serves as the Marketing and Recruiting Coordinator for MSU Collegiate DECA, and is a mentor for the Honors Peer Navigators Mentorship Program. Hana is a member of the Tower Guard, Women in Business, and M-Rule Diversity and Inclusion. As busy as they are, each scholar manages to maintain perfect GPAs!

We are honored to support Madeline and Hana on their educational journeys and eagerly anticipate the remarkable accomplishments they will achieve as they advance in their careers in the supply chain industry.
