The William B. Snyder Family and The GEICO Philanthropic Foundation have established an education assistance program to assist associates’ children with tuition expenses to attend a private high school.
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.
Applicants to the The Snyder Family Education Assistance Program must be:
Children of GEICO associates with titles of Senior Director or above are ineligible.
*Dependent children must be primarily supported by the associate. They may be natural or legally adopted children or stepchildren.
**GEICO refers to GEICO Corporation and to all subsidiaries (excluding McLane Company, Inc., Clayton Homes, Inc. and TTI, Inc.)
Annual Awards will be given equal to 50% of school costs or a maximum of $5,000 (whichever is less) per student per year.
Awards are renewable through grade 12 on the basis of satisfactory performance, continued enrollment at a private high school, and the continuation of the scholarship program.
Awards are for study at private high schools only.
Scholarship America processes award payments on behalf of the William B. Snyder Family and The GEICO Philanthropic Foundation. Payment is made in one installment in early August.
Recipients are selected on the basis of financial need.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or associate of GEICO play a part in the selection.
The maximum amount of awards distributed will be equal to 25% of the total number of eligible applicants.
All applicants will be notified in July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
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.
