The program is open to all Barnes Group Inc. worldwide employees, and scholarships will be awarded for graduate study as well as undergraduate.

In accordance with United States tax laws, we are limited to granting awards to only 25% of our eligible applicants.

We invite you to review the guidelines found below and submit an application today!

Sincerely,
