2009 Verizon Scholarship Program
2009 Scholarship Winners
Program Overview and Rules
One hundred children of Verizon employees were awarded four-year, $20,000 college scholarships by the Verizon Foundation. Majors included everything from Engineering to Fine Arts, and Aviation Management.
The company's scholarship program selects recipients on the basis of financial need, academic achievement and extracurricular activities. The scholarships are for high-school seniors who plan to attend an accredited four-year institution.
Since the scholarship program began in 2001, the foundation has given more than $36 million in scholarships to 2,152 students. Information about how to apply for next year's scholarships will be available this fall on the foundation's Web site.
Employees are encouraged to review the requirements for Verizon scholarships when their children enter the 10th grade.
