The Snyder Family Education Assistance Program
Application status: Closed

The William B. Snyder Family and The GEICO Philanthropic Foundation have established an education assistance program to assist associates’ children with tuition expenses to attend a private high school.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to the The Snyder Family Education Assistance Program must be:

  • Dependent* children of any current full-time or part-time associate of GEICO** who meet these requirements:
    • Full-time associates must have worked for the companies for at least one continuous year by the application deadline date.
    • Part-time associates must have been employed by GEICO for three continuous years by the application deadline date.
  • Current students in grades 8-11 who plan to enroll or who are already attending a full-time course of study at an accredited private secondary school for grades 9-12.

Children of GEICO officers are not eligible for this scholarship.

*Dependent children must be unmarried and primarily supported by the associate. They may be natural or legally adopted children or stepchildren.
**GEICO refers to GEICO Corporation and to all subsidiaries (excluding McLane Company, Inc., Clayton Homes, Inc. and TTI, Inc.)

Awards

Annual awards of 50% of total tuition of up to $5,000 each will be granted for tuition costs not covered by other awards. Awards are renewable through grade 12 on the basis of satisfactory academic performance, continued enrollment at a private high school, and continuation of the program by the William B. Snyder Family and The GEICO Philanthropic Foundation.

Awards are for study at private high schools only.

Selection of Recipients

Recipients are selected on the basis of financial need.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or associate of GEICO play a part in the selection.

The maximum amount of awards distributed will be equal to 25% of the total number of eligible applicants.

Notification

All applicants will be notified by April.  Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
