The John Boyle Scholarship recipient will receive full tuition to the 2011 MSU/NAMA Executive Development Program, designed for senior level executives, business managers, and mid-level managers in the vending, coffee service, food service and related industries. This scholarship fund is a fitting tribute to Mr. Boyleís desire to teach and educate so many in the vending industry. The recipient must be an employee of a Tri-State member company.

In addition to being honored twice with Tri-Stateís Harry Mowery award, given to a person who captures the passion, positive energy and intense love for the vending industry, Mr. Boyle was twice the recipient of the NAMA Legislative Award, in 1989 and 1998, for outstanding efforts on behalf of the vending industry.
