The SAAGNY Foundation Scholarship Program 

The SAAGNY Foundation Scholarship was established to help further the educational goals of SAAGNY member companies' employees, owners, and immediate family (parent/guardian, child, sibling or spouse) who have been employed in the promotional products industry for at least two years. Since the inception of the scholarship program, over $160,000 has been awarded.  Applicants will be eligible to receive awards as full time (12 credits or more per semester) undergraduate students at an accredited school (Community College, Technical School, Vocational School, University).

Scholarship applications are reviewed by independent judges and are scored based on overall merit and the following:

• Grade point average

• One academic letter of recommendation

• One non-academic letter of recommendation

• Essay

• Extra curricular activities

• Charitable efforts / community service

• Academic awards / achievements/recognition

• Non-academic awards / achievements

• Outside jobs / projects
  

Scholarships are awarded without discrimination as to financial need, race, sex or religion and are awarded in the amount of $1,000 annually for up to four consecutive years (total $4,000). All applications are kept confidential and submitted to the Selection Committee for review and action. Scholarships are in the form of a check payable to the student/school each school year provided the student maintains a 3.0 or better grade point average, parent or guardian is employed by a SAAGNY member company and student meets all other conditions annually. If illness or other concerns prevent a student from maintaining the required grade average, no payment will be made for that year and the eligibility period will not be extended.
