In a continuing effort to promote careers in the steel industry through engineering and metallurgy education, the AIST Pittsburgh Chapter has developed an academic program of scholarship grants and educational activities.
Objectives—The objectives of the AIST Pittsburgh Chapter Scholarships are to reward and encourage AIST Pittsburgh Chapter area high school seniors or currently enrolled undergraduate students preparing for a career in engineering or metallurgy by providing a grant of financial support during full-time attendance at any accredited North American college or university.
Awards—Up to two scholarships, valued at $2,500.00 will be available each year. The scholarship(s) will be awarded to AIST Pittsburgh Chapter area student(s) based on the criteria which the Scholarship Award Committee has developed. If there are no applicants in engineering or metallurgy, the awards may be given to eligible student(s) studying other majors relating to iron and steel production.
Eligibility—Students are eligible to compete for the scholarships if, at the time of application they are the children or grandchildren (natural, step, adopted, or ward), or the spouse of an AIST Pittsburgh Chapter member in good standing for at least two consecutive years. Student members of the Material Advantage program at local Pittsburgh Chapter area colleges are also eligible to compete for the scholarships. The student(s) must be accepted in an eligible, full-time course of study at an accredited North American college or university. The awards will be made without regard to financial need.
Selection—Scholarship applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Award Committee. The Committee consists of a Chairman (AIST Pittsburgh Chapter Member), up to four additional members of the Pittsburgh Chapter and the Secretary of the AIST Pittsburgh Chapter.
