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.

  • High school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

 

*Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.

Awards

The authorized award distribution will be $15,000. Up to 15 awards of $1,000 will be given. Awards will be distributed by business unit. Award distribution is subject to change each program year.

If there are not qualified applicants in any particular business unit, no awards will be distributed to that business unit. Awards are not renewable; however, students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Awards are for undergraduate study only. Awards are for tuition and academic fees only. Students in their first year at a military academy may receive a one-time award.

Applicants will be notified in June. 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 Pohlad Companies. Payment is made in mid-July.
