Undergraduate scholarships in 2017 include 49 for first-year
college students
The PPG Foundation announced today that it is sponsoring more
than $290,000 in undergraduate college scholarships for U.S.
students through National Merit Scholarship Corp. in 2017,
including 49 new four-year scholarships.
The new scholarships include 35 awards for PPG employees’
children and 14 awards for students who live in communities near
PPG facilities. Scholarship winners are selected by National Merit
Scholarship Corp. based on Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude
Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) scores
and additional criteria, and they receive awards of $1,500 annually
for up to four years of undergraduate study.
"The PPG Foundation has partnered with National Merit
Scholarship Programs for more than 50 years to reward students for
their hard work and achievements," said Sue Sloan, executive
director of the PPG Foundation. "We are delighted to continue our
relationship, and our support of students who will become future
leaders in industries such as advanced manufacturing."
For consideration for the program, students must take the
PSAT/NMSQT in their junior year of high school.
