The Cabot Scholarship Program was established to assist employees’ children who plan to continue their education in two- or four-year colleges, vocational/technical or trade schools. Renewable scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.
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 the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Applicants to the Cabot Scholarship Program must be:
Children of Executive Committee (ExCo) members are not eligible for the Cabot Scholarship Program.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award. Up to ten (10) awards will be granted. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon maintaining a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) in a full-time undergraduate program and continuation of the scholarship program by Cabot Corporation Foundation.
A student at a two-year college or vocational/technical or trade school may receive a scholarship for no more than two years of study. However, if a student transfers from a two-year college to a four-year college, he or she may receive an award for a maximum of four years.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
All applicants will be notified in June.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Cabot Corporation. Payment is made in early August.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Cabot Corporation play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
