United States Steel Foundation, Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist children of U. S. employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs in the United States.
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. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Eligibility
Applicants to the U. S. Steel Scholarship Program must be:
Award
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,500 award. Recipients will be reflective of the diversity of the applicant pool received. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree or certificate from a vocational-technical school is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and conduct and full-time undergraduate enrollment. If the recipient fails to matriculate full-time or is suspended or put on probation by the institution for academic or disciplinary reasons, the scholarship will be withdrawn. Renewal is also contingent on the continuation of the program by U. S. Steel Foundation, Inc.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
The program will be administered in full compliance with IRS Revenue Procedure 76-47.
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 educational and career goals and objectives, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation. Financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of U. S. Steel Foundation, Inc. play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
Notification
Applicants will be notified in May. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of U. S. Steel Foundation, Inc. Payments are made in early August.
