Since 1998 USSC has been awarding scholarships to deserving college students. These USSC scholarships are available to employees of USSC member firms or dependents of an employee at a USSC member firm. Any employee or employee’s dependent is eligible to apply. 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.
You can apply online at www.ussc.org/memberservices or call the USSC office at 215/785-1922 for more information.
Following are the requirements for application:
+ The student must submit a completed application form, supply a current transcript of grades, and a short essay.
+ If the student is going into the field of art or graphic design, he or she must submit samples of their artistic skills.
+ The student must have a high school grade point average of 2.5 or better and must maintain an average of 3.0 to renew the scholarship in subsequent years.
+ The student can be a high school senior or already in college in an undergraduate program. (If already in college, student should submit a high school transcript and a current college transcript of courses taken to date.)
+ The student can be interested in any area of study in either a two-year or four-year program and must be full time with at least twelve credit hours per semester.
Funding for the Scholarship Program comes from setting aside a percentage of the gross revenue from Sign World International http://www.ussc.org/main_signworld.html in Atlantic City, New Jersey. When you exhibit or attend, you help fund the future of our industry! Our scholarship students thank you for your support.
