UNCF Scholarship and Summer Job Opportunity

$10,000 Scholarship, Paid summer Job, and Possibility of Post-Graduation Employment Offer.

United Water, one of the country’s largest water and wastewater management solutions companies, is offering a $10,000 scholarship, a paid 10 week summer job internship, and an opportunity for post graduation employment to students who are presently in their sophomore year, and who have at least a 3.0 GPA. This is a scholarship targeted to students attending the following United Negro College Fund institutions: Spelman, Bennett, Clark Atlanta University, Fisk, Xavier, Morehouse, Dillard, Tougaloo, Rust, and Shaw. Virginia Union, Paine, Wilberforce, Philander Smith, Saint Augustine. In addition, this opportunity is available to students in their sophomore year at any historically black college and university (HBCU). If you are an alum or alumnae of a UNCF institution or HBCU, or know students that meet the scholarship criteria encourage them to apply for the United Water Corporate Scholars program at the site below.

United Water is headquartered in New Jersey, has operations throughout the United States, and is part of a worldwide company headquartered in France. So for example, if you know a student who is a sophomore at a UNCF or HBCU but whose home is in New Jersey or in California, or in Indianapolis, or one of the 40 states where United Water has operations, that student should apply for the scholarship, since it might enable them to not only go home for the summer but to get a $10,000 scholarship as well as a good paying summer job and the possibility of a post-graduation job.

Anyone who knows someone who is presently in college, knows how expensive it is and what a blessing it would be to have $10,000 in additional aid to pay for college. When you add a paid summer job and the possibility of a post-graduation job offer it’s an opportunity too good to pas up. The program is open to students in all disciplines, ranging from engineering, sciences, pre-law to communications, business administration, etc. Follow the link below to apply for the United Water UNCF Corporate Scholars program. Applications are only available on line and the due date is coming soon.

Will you help us help a deserving student earn a two-year scholarship and an opportunity to engage in a new career path with one of the most influential global companies in a growing industry segment?
