United States Sign Council (USSC) scholarships are available to employees of USSC member firms or dependents of an employee at a USSC member firm. In addition, once the student has been chosen by the Scholarship Committee as a scholarship recipient, he or she may renew the scholarship for three additional years providing the student maintains a 3.0 grade point average. This is a membership opportunity that should not be overlooked, especially in light of increasing costs for higher education.
