Olympus Energy Scholarship Program

Olympus Energy has established a scholarship program to assist residents in the greater Pittsburgh area who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

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.

Applicants to the Olympus Energy Scholarship Program must:

  • Self-identify as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
  • Be residents of the following counties in the greater Pittsburgh area:

  • Have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent).
  • Have never been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony crime.

Current employees of Olympus Energy and their children are ineligible.

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 STEM-related course of study and no misdemeanor or felony convictions.
