Cabot Scholarship Program
The Cabot Scholarship Program was established to assist employees’ children who plan to continue their education in two- or four-year colleges, vocational/technical or trade schools, or CEGEP.
Cabot 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 Cabot Scholarship Program must be:
- Dependent* children of full-time employees of Cabot Corporation or its subsidiaries who are working in, and residents of, the United States or Canada and have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with the company as of the application deadline date.
*Dependent children are defined as natural and legally adopted children or stepchildren who live in the employee’s household or are primarily supported by the employee. - High school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, vocational/technical or trade school, or CEGEP for the entire upcoming academic year. Current college undergraduates are not eligible to apply.
Applicants who have received a scholarship from this Program prior to the start of this current Program cycle shall not be required to meet eligibility requirements concerning any employment with the Sponsor.
Children of Executive Committee (ExCo) members are not eligible for the Cabot Scholarship Program.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award. Up to ten (10) 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 maintaining satisfactory academic progress in a full-time undergraduate program and continuation of the scholarship program by Cabot Corporation Foundation.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in 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.
Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Cabot Corporation. Payment is made in early August.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic record
- 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
Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Cabot Corporation 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.
