Stanley Black & Decker Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Stanley Black & Decker offers a competitive scholarship program to assist employees’ children who plan to pursue post-secondary education in college and vocational programs. Each year, renewable scholarships are offered for full-time study at any accredited post-secondary institution of the student’s choice.

This scholarship 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, gender, disability or national origin.

Applicants to the Stanley Black & Decker Scholarship Program must be:

  • Children* of full-time or part-time** employees of Stanley Black & Decker and its U.S. and Canadian divisions and subsidiaries with a minimum of 90 days of service as of the application deadline date, and
  • High school seniors or high school graduates, between the ages of 17 and 25, planning to enroll or already enrolled in full-time study leading to a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university, an associate degree at a community or junior college, or a certificate at an approved vocational-technical institute.

*Child is defined as the son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter, legally adopted child, or legal ward supported solely by the guardian.

Award

Twenty-five (25) awards of $1000 will be awarded to undergraduate students. One (1) award of $5000 will be awarded to a student with an engineering major.  Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study and continued employment of the student’s parent at Stanley Black & Decker.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
