Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 U.S. currency. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study, continued employment of the student’s parent at TechnipFMC, and continuation of the program by Tyler Schilling.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in April. 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 Robot Appreciation Society scholarship payments on behalf of Tyler Schilling. Payments are made in equal installments on August 15 and December 15.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an outside appraisal. Applications from college-bound students and vocational-technical school students are evaluated in two separate groups. Award amounts are determined based on school costs.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does Tyler Schilling or any officer or employee of TechnipFMC Schilling Robotics play a part in the selection, nor is the program supported and connected in any way to TechnipFMC. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
