nVent Scholarship Fund
Deadline to apply: February 1, 2023 3:00 pm CT

nVent has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

This 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 are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to the nVent Scholarship Fund must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 22 and under, of full-time worldwide employees of nVent or one of its subsidiaries who have a minimum of one year of employment as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee and/or who qualify for benefits by the company.
  • High school seniors/students in their final year of upper-secondary school or graduates, who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, CEGEP school or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Children of nVent officers, nVent segment presidents and employees with the title of vice president or above are ineligible to apply. Students receiving a scholarship award from one of nVent’s individual subsidiaries in any given year are ineligible.

Award Amounts

nVent offers two types of scholarship awards:

  • Fund 1:  Up to  fifteen (15) renewable awards of $2,000 each, regardless of financial need.
  • Fund 2:  Up to ten (10) need-based renewable awards of $5,000 each. Students must demonstrate need as determined by Scholarship America.

Recipients will represent international locations, if qualified applications are received.

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, continued parental employment with nVent, and continuation of the program by nVent.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Honors
  • Statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances, and home responsibilities.
  • Financial need is considered for the need-based awards only.

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

Notification

Applicants will be notified in March. 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 on behalf of nVent. Payments are made in August.

As part of your application, you must upload the following documents:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display student name, school name, grades and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.

    NOTE: If you are providing SAT or ACT test scores, and those scores are not listed on your high school transcript, you will need to upload an official copy of those test scores separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.
  • English translations for any non-English documents.

Your application is not considered complete unless all required documents are submitted electronically.
