Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Eligibility
Applicants to the UPF Scholarship Fund must be:

  • Dependent* children, ages 17 – 23, of full-time United Plastic Fabricating, Inc. employees who have a minimum of one year of employment as of the application deadline.
