<p>My son just received a corporate sponsored award and we are self-employed. I was very happily surprised!</p>
<p>Momomom:</p>
<p>This is from my post #48 on this thread. Which one did your S get?</p>
<p>*i looked at the entire list and these were the ones where (fully or partially) scholarships were given to non family members of the employee or the union member. There may be others and you can see if you qualify for any of these. I would guess 98% of the awards go children of employees. And some in list give it to non employee children as second choice (if an employee’s child is not eligible). Some are based on the location of the student.</p>

<p>Momomom, just being curious, can you tell us which corporation awarded it then?</p>
<p>The company is called Knovel and I think he got it because he is planning on studying engineering.</p>
