The Elkay Family Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children and grandchildren of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, 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 Scholarship Program must:
Awards
Up to 20 awards of $2,500 each will be granted and one award of $5,000 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.
Award recipients will be sent a Quick Start Guide email to register for the WhichWay app with access to the following modules for a one year cycle:
Selection of Recipients
