Sasol is launching the Sasol Scholars Program with the 2024 Community Scholarship for students interested in pursuing higher education. This opportunity-embedded award provides up to $100,000 in scholarships to high school seniors graduating from Sasol partner schools in Louisiana, Texas and Arizona. Students must plan to enroll in full-time associate or bachelor’s degree programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Business, Liberal Arts or related fields.
The Sasol Scholarship Program is administered in partnership with 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.
