Shelter Insurance Foundation Agent Scholarship Program
SHELTER INSURANCE FOUNDATION Agents' Scholarship Program
SHELTER INSURANCE FOUNDATION annually awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors in communities with a Shelter Mutual Insurance Company agent participating in the program. Gerron Smith is the sponsoring agent for this scholarship.
• $1,500 scholarships are awarded annually to graduating seniors who attend high schools that are approved and accredited by that state’s Department of Education.
• The scholarship will be paid directly to any accredited college, university, or trade school in which the scholarship recipient has enrolled, by the September following their high school graduation, to apply toward tuition, fees, books, and on-campus housing charges.
• A local selection committee of three to five people consisting of high school officials and leaders of the business and/or professional community will consider applicants’ scholastic achievement, participation and leadership in school and community activities, citizenship, moral character, educational goals, and financial need.
• Scholarships will be given without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other classification protected by federal, state, or local law. Children of any Shelter Insurance®Agent or employee are not eligible recipients of these scholarships.
