HighPoint Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

HighPoint Digital, Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist dependent children of HighPoint employees who plan to continue their education in college, vocational or technical school programs. Scholarships are offered for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice for the upcoming school year.

This 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.

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Be dependent* children, age 23 and under, of HighPoint employees who have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with the company as of the application deadline date and who are employed by HighPoint when the award is paid.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • Be high school seniors or graduates or current postsecondary undergraduates who are in their first, second or third year of study.
  • 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.
  • High school seniors must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent). Current undergraduate students must have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent).

Undergraduate students who are in their fourth year of study are not eligible to apply.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
