Applicants to the John Jamison Iron Mountain Education Fund must meet the following requirements:

• Dependent* children, up to age 24, of full‐time Iron Mountain employees globally at the Director level and below who have been employed with the company for a minimum of twelve (12) consecutive months as of the application deadline date.
  *Dependent children are defined as natural or legally adopted children or dependent stepchildren primarily supported by the employee (the employee provides more than 1/2 of the child’s total support during the calendar year.)
• Children of deceased employees are also eligible if the full‐time employee was classified as Director level or below at the time of death.
• High school/upper secondary school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll, or students who are already enrolled, 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.

Awards

50 scholarship awards of $2,000 (USD) will be awarded to selected applicants.

Awards are nonrenewable. Receiving an award does not disqualify the recipient from applying in future years provided the applicant continues to meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for undergraduate study at an accredited two‐year or four‐year college, university, or vocational‐technical school for the entire upcoming academic year. Graduate programs are not eligible

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

• Academic record
• Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
• Work experience
• Honors
• A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
• A description of how life experiences have shaped who they are today

Financial need is also considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Iron Mountain play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in early July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments, issued in U.S. currency, on behalf of Iron Mountain. Payments are made in early August or upon verification of enrollment. Scholarship America mails scholarship checks (payable to the educational institution) to student recipients. For students outside the United States, Scholarship America may send funds via wire transfer.
