The Elkay Interior Systems (EIS) Scholarship Program
Live application window: February 24, 2025 through April 4, 2025 3:00 pm CT

The Elkay Family Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children and grandchildren of employees who plan to continue their education in college, vocational, and/or trade 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. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, veteran status, or other protected characteristics.

Applicants to the Elkay Interior Systems (EIS) Scholarship Program must:

  • Be dependent* children or grandchildren, age 25 and under, of full-time Elkay Interior Systems (EIS) employees in US locations with a minimum of one-year employment with the company as of the 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. Vocational-technical school students may attend a program less than one full academic year.

Awards

Five awards of $3,000 each will be granted and one award of $6,000 will be granted to the top applicant.

Awards are not renewable; however, students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school only.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in May. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.

Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Elkay Family Foundation. Payments are made in August.
