Phillips 66 Dependent Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

The Phillips 66 Dependent Scholarship Program was established to provide financial assistance to employees’ and retirees’ children who plan to attend college but may not be able to meet the expenses of a college education without such aid.

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.

  • dependent* children, of full-time non-store employees on the Phillips 66 U.S.** payroll, including U.S. expatriates or identified U.S. subsidiaries as of May 1 of the year in which the awards are made. Children of retired, disabled or deceased employees of Phillips 66 U.S.** are also eligible. Retirees must meet company’s qualifications for retirement.

    • *Dependent child is defined as a child who qualifies as a federal tax exemption to the employee on his/her most recently filed tax return (Form 1040). An exception may be requested for a natural or legally adopted son or daughter in cases such as divorce or separation. A written explanation and proof of support is required.

Children of employees who were principal officers as of February 1 of the year in which awards are made are not eligible to apply.

  • Students who drop below full-time, do not maintain a cumulative 3.00 GPA or who fail or withdraw from more than one-third of their total credits in one year will forfeit their scholarship. Students may petition for continuation of the award upon enrolling in the summer session to meet the above requirements. An exception may be made if absence from classes is due to illness (certified by a physician) or other exceptional reasons were the cause of withdrawal or failure.
  • Death of the parent of any scholarship holder or retirement from or separation from service with a Phillips 66 company by the parent of any scholarship holder shall not cause the scholarship holder to be ineligible to receive extensions of scholarship awards, providing scholarship holder meets all other eligibility requirements.
