At Curtiss-Wright we believe that cost should not prevent a student from gaining access to higher education. The Curtiss-Wright Sons and Daughters Scholarship Awards program was developed to help families of Curtiss-Wright employees off-set the rising cost of postsecondary education and to promote and encourage academic achievement. Our scholarships honor the dedication, contributions and achievements of our past and present leaders, our employees and our customers.
Our program awards 90 scholarships to students who exemplify excellence in their academic work, show demonstrable courage and fortitude in overcoming odds and a discernable commitment to family and community. Students with this passion for excellence personify the traits that Curtiss-Wright considers invaluable and necessary in order to become leaders of tomorrow in any career path they choose.
Our program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship 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.
Eligible applicants to the Curtiss-Wright Scholarship Program must meet the following criteria:
Children of the CEO and his/her direct reports are ineligible to participate in the program.
Ninety (90) scholarships at $2,500 each will be granted to those candidates who demonstrate outstanding personal achievement in addition to Scholarship America’s standard recipient selection procedures which includes the consideration of past academic performance and future potential, leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, statement of career and educational aspirations and goals, and an outside appraisal.
Awards are not renewable. However, students may reapply to the program each year that they meet the eligibility requirements.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Financial need is not a consideration.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Curtiss-Wright Corporation play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision of Scholarship America as final.
Applicants will be notified by early April. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Awards are limited to one award per recipient per year.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Payments are made in one installment in early August. Scholarship checks are made payable to the institution and mailed to the student.
