U. S. Steel Endowed Scholarships


U. S. Steel endowed scholarships have been established at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States.

Many of the scholarships give preference to sons and daughters of active, full-time employees of U. S. Steel.

The endowed scholarships are administered by the respective colleges, which have sole responsibility for selecting recipients, establishing the amount of the award, monitoring the students’ performance and, if necessary, terminating the scholarships. Selection criteria may include any or all of the following: academic achievement, leadership qualities, potential to succeed, and financial need.

Generally, U. S. Steel endowed scholarships are available to entering first-year students who have been accepted for full-time study toward a baccalaureate degree in a business-related major such as (but not limited to) engineering, accounting, finance, computer science, business, or natural sciences. Several of the scholarships, however, are restricted to specific majors. Please see the U. S. Steel Endowed Scholarships Descriptions for a list of the colleges and major requirements.

Scholarship awards are established annually by the colleges according to each institution’s endowment spending policy. Consequently, the awards vary from college to college. U. S. Steel endowed scholarships may be applied only to tuition, room and/or board.

The scholarships are awarded for the first year of study. Many of the scholarships may be renewed for the following three years provided the student remains in school full time and meets the requirements established by the college for retaining the scholarship. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain those requirements from the college and to comply with the college’s administrative procedures for renewing scholarships.

Unless otherwise stated in the Scholarship Descriptions, preference will be given to sons and daughters of active, full-time employees of U. S. Steel and its eligible subsidiaries (those in which U. S. Steel holds a 50% or greater interest). Sons and daughters include natural children, legally adopted children, step-children and legal wards.

When applying for U. S. Steel endowed scholarships, students should identify themselves as sons or daughters of U. S. Steel employees and state the parent’s name, U. S. Steel position, unit and work location. Please see the U. S. Steel Endowed Scholarships Descriptions for instructions on how and when to apply at each college.

Acceptance of a U. S. Steel endowed scholarship does not obligate the recipient to employment with U. S. Steel nor does it obligate U. S. Steel to offer employment to the recipient.
