Veritiv Scholarship Fund
Veritiv Operating Company has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
Veritiv Scholarship Fund
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships 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.
Eligibility
Applicants to the Veritiv Scholarship Fund must:
- Dependent* children of part-time or full-time Veritiv Operating Company employees in the U.S. or Mexico who have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with the company as of the application deadline.
*Dependent children are defined as natural children, step- or legally adopted children, children for whom you are legal guardian or children of your domestic partner. - High school seniors in their final year of upper secondary school (preparatoria) or graduates, current postsecondary undergraduates, or graduate level students who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate or graduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, vocational-technical school, or graduate school for the entire upcoming academic year.
Children of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) are not eligible.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to 25 one-time awards will be granted. Awards are not renewable, and past recipients are not eligible to apply again.
Recipients will be selected in direct proportion to the number of qualified applicants from the U.S. and Mexico.
Awards are for undergraduate and graduate study.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in late May.
Notifications are sent via email. When setting up your account, avoid using a school or work email. Instead, use an active, personal email address that you will continue to have access to.
Please make sure to add studentsupport@scholarshipamerica.org as well as the program email address as safe senders in your email contact list.
Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Veritiv Operating Company. Payment is made in late June.
Awards will be disbursed to recipients in Mexico by wire transfer in early September.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic performance

Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Veritiv Operating Company play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
