The Hanover Insurance Group Employee Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. has established a competitive scholarship program to recognize the importance of education and to provide support to employees’ children who plan to continue their education at a college, university, or vocational-technical school.

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 of The Hanover Insurance Group Employee Scholarship Program award must be:

  • A dependent* child of a full-time Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. employee who is in good standing, who qualifies for company-sponsored benefits, has a minimum of one year of employment with the company as of the application deadline date and remains employed by the company on the date recipients are announced to the public.
  • High school seniors or graduates (or equivalent) who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled, no later than fall of 2025, in an undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or a vocational-technical school, for the entire upcoming academic year. (Students that graduate from an accredited post-secondary institution in December of 2025, are also eligible to apply. If chosen as a recipient, student may receive the whole award.)

*Dependent children, age 26 or under, are defined as natural or legally adopted children or dependent stepchildren primarily supported by the employee.

The student is the applicant. Application information, including contact information, should be that of the student unless otherwise noted.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record

Financial information, including parental income range, number of dependents in household and the number of dependents attending postsecondary institutions, will also be considered when determining recipients.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. or Citizens Insurance play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Awards

Awards are not renewable; however, past recipients may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Awards are for undergraduate study only. The program will fund multiple scholarships, ranging in value from $1,000 to $1,500.

The selection process will not be influenced or affected by the actual or perceived race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, gender, or sexual orientation of any applicant.
