Cotality Family Scholarship Program
Deadline to apply: May 7, 2025 3:00 pm CT

Cotality has established a scholarship program to assist employees’ children who plan to continue their education in college. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited two or four-year 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.

Eligibility
Applicants to the Cotality Family Scholarship Program must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 26 and under, of full-time (level PT/PL 5 or below) Cotality employees based in the U.S. offices who have a minimum of one year of employment with the company as of the application deadline date. Dependent children of deceased employees are also eligible if the employment requirements were met at the time of the employee’s passing, but the dependent child must meet all eligibility requirements.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, stepchildren or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • High school seniors or college undergraduates
  • Enrolled or plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university in the U.S. for the entire upcoming academic year.

Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to thirty (30) awards will be granted. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Students may receive the award a maximum of two times. The number of awards will be limited to two scholarships awarded per family in a program year.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification
Applicants will be notified in early July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.

Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Cotality. Payment is made in August.

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 educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation

Financial need will also be considered. Recipients will be selected from a pool of qualified applicants with additional consideration given to those who demonstrate the greatest need. The number of awards granted to eligible minority students will be in direct proportion to the total number of eligible applications.

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

Required Documents
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.

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.

One online recommendation form must be submitted on your behalf no later than May 15, 2025 3:00 pm Central Time.

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