Applicants to the Gemline Scholarship Program must:

  • Be dependent* children or dependent* grandchildren of full-time Gemline employees who have a minimum of one year employment with the company as of the application deadline date.
    *Dependent children and grandchildren are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children or grandchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • Be current high school seniors or high school graduates (not currently enrolled in college) or current college undergraduates.
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study* at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical/trade** school for the entire upcoming academic year.

*Parochial studies are not eligible
**Certification programs are not eligible

Children of executive level employees are ineligible.

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

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in April.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Gemline. Payment is made in early August.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Financial need
  • 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

Participants must demonstrate financial need.

Provided enough qualified applications are received, preference will be given to students from underserved communities and first generation college students.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Gemline play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

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.

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 February 12, 2025 3:00 pm Central Time.
