Buick Achievers Scholarship

Applicants to the Buick Achievers Scholarship Program must:

• Be high school seniors, high school graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduate students.
• Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at a U.S. based accredited four-year college or university for the entire 2012-13 academic year. Proprietary and online schools are not eligible.
• Plan to major in a course of study that focuses on Engineering/Technology or select Design and Business related programs of study. See the list of eligible majors.
• Demonstrate an interest in pursuing a career in the automotive or related industries using these areas of study.
• Be U.S. citizens and have permanent residence in the United States

Scholarship recipients are selected based on the following factors:

• Academic achievement
• Financial need
• Participation and leadership in community and school activities, work experience and interest in pursuing a career in the automotive or related industry
• Please note special consideration will be given to the following applicants: first-generation college, female, minority, military veteran or a dependent of military personnel.

The majority of the scholarships will be awarded to students majoring in Engineering/Techology Fields.

Recipients will be awarded one scholarship at either of the two award levels:

• 100 Buick Achievers National Scholarships of up to $25,000 per year, available for four years, and one additional year for those entering a five-year engineering program. The scholarships can be used toward the total cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, required equipment, room and board and other allowable expenses, less other gift aid known at the time of application (scholarships, grants and other awards that do not have to be paid back).
• 1,000 Buick Achievers Scholarships of $2,000. These awards are not renewable; however, recipients may reapply to the program each year eligibility requirements are met.

The awards for National Achievers are renewable for the given years noted above or until a bachelor's degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale), full-time enrollment and continuing to major in an eligible field of study.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

ATTENTION PARENTS & STUDENTS!

Much has been said about how anything posted on the internet lasts forever and the many ways in which Facebook posts can come back to haunt you, but teens in particular don’t seem to be getting the message. Now, poor online choices can result in a college rejection letter: Kaplan Test Prep’s survey found that 24% of universities view publicly available pages for background information on applicants, and that when inappropriate content is discovered, it can serve as a basis for rejection.
Be sure to share with your student(s) these and other potentially long-lasting ramifications of bad online behavior. If you are using Career Choices, remind them of the decision-making process covered in Chapter 6 and point out that critical thinking can comes in handy even when making everyday decisions that seem small or incidental.
