CentroMotion Dependent Scholarship Program
Deadline to apply: May 1, 2025 3:00 pm CT

CentroMotion has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

This 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.

Guidelines Available in:

 

English    |    English Applicant Guide   

Coming Soon: Guidelines and Applicant Guide in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese

Applicants to the CentroMotion Dependent Scholarship Program must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 24 and under, full-time and part-time (to comply with EU employment
    guidelines) of worldwide ECS employees who have a minimum of one (1) year employment with the company as of the
    application deadline date.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • High school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates, who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Award Amounts

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $500 award.

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 satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study, continued employment of the student’s parent at CentroMotion, and continuation of the program by CentroMotion.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • A statement of goals and aspirations, and unusual personal or family circumstances.

Academic evaluation will include a review of the grade/mark average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of CentroMotion play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in June. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students not selected as recipients may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of CentroMotion. Payments to recipients in the U.S. and Canada are made in one installment in mid-July. The scholarship check is made payable to the school and mailed to applicants in the US.

Starting in August, recipients outside the US will receive a wire upon verification of enrollment. Award amounts are listed in U.S. dollars (USD) and award payments will be issued in USD. Recipients may choose to receive award payments in their local currency when available.

As part of your application, you must upload the following:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display:
  • Student name
  • School name
  • Grades
  • Credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.
    • Outside the United States and Canada, other educational documents may satisfy this requirement. For example, GCSE exams, A-levels, or CBSE’s.

NOTE: If you are providing SAT or ACT test scores, and those scores are not listed on your high school transcript, you will need to upload a copy of your test score report(s) separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.

Your application is not complete unless all required materials are submitted electronically.
