Badger Meter Scholarship Program
Badger Meter, Inc. has established a scholarship program to current employee’s children and grandchildren who plan to continue their education in college to pursue an education in college or vocational school programs.
Badger Meter 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 Badger Meter Scholarship Program must be:
- Dependent children*, age 24 and under, of part-time or full-time Badger Meter, Inc. employees who have a minimum of 90-days of employment with the company as of the application deadline date. Also eligible are grandchildren, who do not have to be dependents of the employee.
*Dependent children are defined as biological, step-, or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee. - High school seniors or graduates or current postsecondary undergraduates who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- year or four- year college, university or vocational-technical school. Students who will graduate in December are eligible to apply. If selected to be a recipient, the award amount will be one-half of the amount appropriate for an entire academic year.
Children and grandchildren of officers are ineligible to apply to this program.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive an award ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. The number of awards each year will vary based on the number of applications and amount of available funding. 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 and continuation of the program by Badger Meter, Inc. Each family household may be awarded a maximum of $3,000.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in early June.
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 Badger Meter, Inc. Payment is made in early August.
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
Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is reviewed to determine the amount of each award. Recipients 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 Badger Meter, Inc. 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.
