ASM Global Stars Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

As the world’s leading venue management company and producer of live event experiences, ASM Global is the preeminent management and content partner with over 350 venues worldwide. Operating and investing in the world’s most important stadiums, arenas, convention centers, and theaters requires unmatched dedication and the most profound expertise. Through the company’s corporate social responsibility platform, ASM Global Acts, ASM Global is dedicated to protecting the environment, investing in people and strengthening communities around the globe.

The ASM Global Stars Scholarship Program reflects the commitment to providing diverse and under-resourced communities with educational and career development opportunities through scholarship awards and prospective internships.

The 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 ASM Global.

ASM Global operates hundreds of stadiums, convention centers and arenas around the globe which boost local economies, employ area residents and provide meaningful opportunities for the communities we call home. As part of our ASM Global Acts corporate responsibility platform, the ASM Global Stars scholarship program further strengthens our efforts and solidifies our intention to make a difference in the communities where we do business.

The path to pursuing an education and career looks different for everyone, and there are inevitable obstacles along the way. Yet some have greater barriers than others, and our goal is to help level the playing field for anyone looking to advance their education.

We are incredibly proud to support students in our local communities by investing in their education and making college accessible and affordable, and by offering career development opportunities for our future leaders. We want every student to focus on their future potential, not the financial constraints of receiving an education.
