Nestlé USA is proud to sponsor a scholarship program to assist children of employees working at the L.J. Minor Factory in Cleveland, OH to pursue higher education.
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. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Dr. Lewis J. Minor Memorial Scholarship Program must:
Nestlé scholarship recipients may accept additional scholarships from other sources.
Applicants’ parents, whether one or both are employed with Nestlé, must receive an individual, annual base compensation from Nestlé USA or its affiliate companies of no more than $80,000.
If selected as a recipient, each student will receive a $2,500 award. Up to two (2) awards may be granted each year.
Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Finalists 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, and an online recommendation. An essay will also be included.
Financial need is not considered.
Scholarship America will identify up to five finalists and forward their essays to Nestlé USA for review and selection of recipients. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
All applicants will be notified in April.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Nestlé USA. Payments are made in August.
