August 02 2022 - 10:30AM
All-domain defense and technologies partner HII (NYSE:HII)
announced today that the company’s scholarship fund, now in its
seventh year, has awarded 190 scholarships to dependent children of
HII employees for the 2022-2023 school year. HII’s scholarship fund
has awarded more than $3 million in 1,170 scholarships over the
life of the program, providing educational opportunities to more
than 600 children of employees across the HII enterprise.
“This program is an important reflection of who we are,” said
Chris Kastner, HII’s president and CEO. “Through these scholarships
we are supporting our employees and their families, with benefits
long-term for our communities and ultimately the nation. I am
committed to supporting this program and the educational
opportunities it brings to students.”
The HII Scholarship Fund was formed to provide financial
assistance to dependent children of HII employees who are pursuing
a post-secondary college or technical/vocation degree and to
dependent children who are enrolled in qualifying pre-kindergarten
school readiness programs.

Of the scholarships awarded, 30 were granted to students in
four-year college education programs, 20 were granted to students
in two-year degree or vocational programs, and 50 were granted to
students in early childhood school-readiness programs.
Individual award amounts ranged from $3,000 for selected
students enrolled in a four-year college program to $1,500 for
selected students enrolled in two-year programs; the post-secondary
awards are renewable for recipients who remain in good academic
standing. The fund also awards scholarships of up to $3,000 for
pre-school education costs.
Children of all HII employees are eligible to apply for the
scholarship fund, with the exception of children of senior
executives and those employees who have been with the company for
less than two years.
The HII Scholarship Fund is administered through Scholarship
America. The selection process for awards is independent of HII and
based on both academic scholarship and financial need. No employee
or officer of HII plays a part in the selection process.
