The SFM Foundation Scholarship is a scholarship program that provides financial assistance to students who have been affected by workplace injuries or illnesses. The program is sponsored by SFM Mutual Insurance Company, a provider of workers’ compensation insurance.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be the dependent of a worker who was injured or killed in a workplace accident, or who has a permanent disability resulting from a workplace injury or illness. Applicants must also be enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited college or university, and have a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
In addition to meeting these eligibility criteria, applicants are evaluated based on their academic achievement, leadership skills, community involvement, and a demonstrated commitment to overcoming adversity. Applicants must submit a personal statement outlining their career goals and how they have been impacted by a workplace injury or illness.
The SFM Foundation Scholarship provides up to $10,000 in financial assistance to each recipient, which can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. The scholarship application deadline is typically in the spring, and recipients are notified in the summer.
