Lanxess Canada Scholarship Program
Lanxess Canada Co/CIE has established a scholarship program to assist children of their Canada employees. The renewable scholarships are for post-secondary college or vocational education and are offered each year for full-time study at any accredited post-secondary institution of the student’s choice.
Lanxess Canada 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.
