Constellation Scholars Program
Constellation has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors who plan to continue their education in college.
Constellation Scholars 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 Constellation Scholars Program must:
- Live in Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, or Maryland
- Be a high school senior
- Plan to enroll in part-time or full-time undergraduate study at an accredited college or university or for the entire upcoming academic year
- Be pursuing a major in:
- Engineering – specifically Mechanical, Electric, Computer, or Nuclear
- Computer Science

- IT
- Cybersecurity
- Finance or Business
Constellation employees and children of employees are not eligible.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to 5 awards will be granted. Awards may be renewed for up to four additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a overall cumulative grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale and major grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale), continued part-time or full-time enrollment, and continuation of the program by Constellation.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in May.
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 Constellation. Payment is made in 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
Selection of finalists is made by Scholarship America. Constellation will select recipients. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
