TOMRA Scholarship Program
Live application window: November 27, 2024 through May 16, 2025 3:00 pm CT

TOMRA has established a scholarship program to assist children of TOMRA North America employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Eligibility
Applicants to the TOMRA Scholarship Program must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 24 and under, of full-time TOMRA North America employees who have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with the company as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are children who qualify for benefits provided by the company.
  • High school seniors, graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates.
  • Enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

**Children of employees on the Management Team are ineligible to participate in the Program.

Award

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award.

Awards will be limited to one award per family per year, with preference given to applicants who have received less than 2 awards previously, provided there are qualified applicants.

Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification
Applicants will be notified in July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of TOMRA. Payments are made in one installment in August.

  • Honors
  • Work experience
  • A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
