Scholarship Program

Support of education has been a part of responsible approach to the regional development since the beginning of U. S. Steel business in Slovakia. For a long time the company has been cooperating mainly with technical universities and secondary schools. The U. S. Steel Košice Scholarship Program has been established with an ambition to focus on systematic support of university students with excellent study results.

Since 2004 we have provided 480 scholarships including 28 scholarships for academic year 2023/2024 in amount 36 750 euros.

PROJECT INTENTION

  • to support talented children of U. S. Steel Košice full-time employees in studying at colleges and universities (since 2007)

  • individual scholarships may be prolonged based on new applications to cover more than one academic year, if the criteria are fulfilled and no other students fulfilling the criteria have applied

Selection criteria

Within the donation and sponsorship approval procedure, U. S. Steel Košice top management will decide on student selection based on the following criteria:

Scholarship applicants whose parents are not permanently employed by U. S. Steel Košice

  • the applicant studies a technical branch in accordance with the business orientation of U. S. Steel Košice and has permanent residence in the Košice region,
  • study results up to 1.8 (study benefit in the last year of secondary school, including school-leaving examination, respectively benefit in each academic year),
  • the applicant's social circumstances (without child benefits, the income per family member is less than 1.5 times the subsistence minimum).

Scholarship applicants whose parents are permanently employed by U. S. Steel Košice

  • are not limited by residence and income,
  • the applicant studies a technical branch in accordance with the business orientation of U. S. Steel Košice or studies a branch other than technical in cases where there are extraordinary personal or family circumstances (e.g. health handicap of a student or one of the parents, semi-orphan), extraordinary success in international competitions,
  • study results up to 1.8 (study benefit in the last year of secondary school, including school-leaving examination, respectively benefit in each academic year),
  • the employee has worked at U. S. Steel Košice for at least three years and is not on notice  at the time of the closing date of the program for the given academic year.

In both cases, scholarship applicants must also successfully complete a personal interview, to which all applicants who meet the above criteria will be invited (in particular, the student's motivation for obtaining higher education, knowledge of the basic principles of entrepreneurship of U. S. Steel Košice, as well as extracurricular or community support activities will be evaluated).

If all scholarship applications as well as applications for extensions, after meeting all the established criteria, exceed the budgetary possibilities of the programme, priority will be given to children of staff in more difficult social situations and children with better academic achievement.
