Sargent & Lundy Centennial Scholarship Program
On January 2, 1991, Sargent & Lundy, established a Centennial Scholarship Program (CSP). This program was created to recognize the accomplishments of our employees’ children, encouraging them to further their education and assisting them in financing their education.
Sargent & Lundy Centennial 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 Sargent & Lundy Centennial Scholarship Program must be:
- Children* age 26 and under, of full-time regular Sargent & Lundy employees as of the application deadline date.
*The word children is defined as natural, adopted, or stepchildren or wards of 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.
- Students graduating mid-year may apply; however, the award will be one-half of the full-time award.
- Must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 cumulative grade point average scale (C+ or 84% on the U.S. percentage scale; 69% on the Canadian percentage scale.)
Awards
New awards will be dependent on the number of applications received. Awards of $4,000 each will be granted to all eligible applicants and awards of $2,000 for students graduating mid-year. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Awards are for undergraduate study only. Scholarships may be used for any course of study.
Awards can be used for any education-related expenses. Awards will be paid to the school and a 1099 form will be issued to the student.
All information received is considered confidential and is reviewed only by Scholarship America.
