HII Awards National Merit Scholarships to Children of Shipbuilders
August 07 2024 - 5:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division presented National
Merit Scholarships to the children of four Ingalls shipbuilders on
Friday, Aug. 2, during a luncheon at the shipyard. These
scholarships, valued from $2,000 to $2,500 each, will be renewable
for up to four years of college undergraduate study and can be used
at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university of the
student’s choice.
“The recipients of this year’s scholarships have shown
exceptional academic promise, and we are honored to make this
investment in their futures,” Ingalls Shipbuilding Vice President
of Human Resources Susan Jacobs said. “Thank you to each of the
recipients’ parents for nurturing your student over the years. You
have exemplified hard work, dedication and commitment over the
years and your efforts inspire us all.”
To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, finalists
were required to take the SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test (PSAT/NMSQT) in fall of 2022, complete an essay and provide
information about extracurricular activities, awards, and
leadership positions. Ingalls Merit Scholarship winners were then
selected from the list of students who advanced to the finalist
level and met the specific criteria set by Ingalls. The criteria
included that the finalist be a child of an Ingalls employee, and
reside in one of the communities Ingalls serves.
