Airgas Scholarship Program
Airgas, an Air Liquide Company, has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
Airgas Scholarship Program
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 Airgas Scholarship Program must be:
- Dependent* unmarried children, age 23 and under, of full-time employees (U.S. or Canada) of Airgas, an Air Liquide Company, who have a minimum of one (1) year employment with the company as of the application deadline date.
*Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee. - Current high school seniors or college undergraduates who are enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, community college, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Up to 20 awards will be granted. 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, continued employment of the student’s parent at Airgas an Air Liquide Company, and continuation of the program by Airgas an Air Liquide Company.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Award amounts are listed in U.S. dollars (USD) and award payments will be issued in USD.
Notification
Applicants will be notified in May. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
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 Airgas, an Air Liquide Company. Payments are made in one installment in early August. The parent must be employed by Airgas, an Air Liquide Company, at the time the awards are paid.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic performance
- 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
Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is reviewed to determine the amount of each award, ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Qualified students demonstrating no financial need or whose parents choose not to supply the requested financial information will be eligible to receive a minimum award only.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Airgas an Air Liquide Company play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
