Calico Trailers Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Calico Trailers Mfg. Co. has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors who plan to continue their education in college. 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 Calico Trailers Scholarship Program must:

  • Be high school seniors in the Quitman School District
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university for the entire upcoming academic year.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,000 award. One award will be granted each year. The award may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent) and continuation of the program by Calico Trailers Mfg. Co.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification
