Caliber Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in the trades or technical degree fields in college or vocational school programs.
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 Caliber Family Scholarship Program must:
If taking certification programs, they must be through an accredited institution and must run on a standard academic semester calendar. Certification programs must be a minimum of one semester/term in length and applicants must be enrolled at the time awards are disbursed in August.
Children of Vice President or higher are ineligible.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,500 award. Up to 40 awards will be granted annually.
Awards are renewable up to one year or until a degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, fulltime enrollment, and continued parental employment.
Assuming there are qualified applicants, recipients will be represented across the Caliber territories. Recipients may also receive an opportunity to attend the Platinum Leadership Training Event and/or future career opportunities with Caliber.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
All applicants will be notified in March.
