Steiner Kerman Education Foundation scholarship program
Deadline to apply: December 31, 2024 3:00 pm Central Time

Steiner Kerman Education Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship 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.

Applicants to the Steiner Kerman Education Foundation scholarship program must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 26 and under, of full-time (greater than 30 hours/week) Steiner Electric employees who have a minimum of one year of employment with Steiner Electric as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • High school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates, who plan to enroll 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.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation

Financial need will be considered. Recipients must demonstrate need.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Steiner Kerman Education Foundation play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.

Preference will be given to students planning to enroll or who are already enrolled in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two-year college or vocational-technical school.

Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. A limit of one award per family per year may be granted.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in February.
