Veolia Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program
Veolia North America has established a scholarship program to help finance higher education for children of its employees. As a company we believe in education and life-long learning, and we care about the future of our children and society. The Veolia Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program is a demonstration of this belief. Investing in higher learning is the best investment we can make.
Veolia Sons and Daughters 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 Veolia Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program must be:
- Dependent* children, age 24 and under, of active full-time or part-time regular employees of Veolia North America.
*Dependent children are defined as natural, legally adopted children, or stepchildren living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee. - High school seniors 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 for the entire upcoming academic year.
Awards
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic performance
- Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
- Work experience
- 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 Veolia North America, LLC play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,500 award. A maximum of 20 awards will be granted. The award is one-time only. Non-recipients can re-apply if they continue to meet eligibility requirements.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Awards are for qualified education-related expenses only (tuition, fees, books, and required supplies/equipment).

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, but may only receive the award once.
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.
