The Koch Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children of team members of Koch Enterprises and subsidiaries who plan to continue their education in college.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships 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. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Koch Foundation Scholarship Program must be:
Children of Shareholders of Koch Enterprises, Inc.; children of Presidents; siblings of Presidents of Koch subsidiaries; and children of officers of the Koch Foundation, Inc. are not eligible for an award.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $4,000 award. Up to three award recipients will be awarded. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by the Koch Foundation.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
All applicants will be notified in late-April.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Koch Foundation. Payment is made in August.
