Gränges Americas Student Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Gränges Americas Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college.

This 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.

Applicants to the Gränges Americas Student Scholarship Program must:

  • Dependent* children of full-time Gränges U.S. employees who have a minimum of one year of employment as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are children who qualify for benefits provided by the company.
  • High school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates.
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Awards

Up to twelve {12} awards will be granted as follows:

  • Two (2) awards of $2,500 will be granted to the top ranked applicants who demonstrate financial need.
  • Ten (10) awards of $1,000 will be granted to the next ranked applicants regardless of financial need.

Provided there are qualified applicants, at least one (1) recipient will be selected from each of the following eligible locations:

  • Newport, AR
  • Salisbury, NC
  • Franklin, TN
  • Huntingdon, TN

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

Recipients of the $2,500 award can only receive the award once, but are eligible to receive the $1,000 award in future years if selected.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

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, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive one of the $2,500 awards. Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Gränges Americas Inc. 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.
