SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE FUND

Providing Equal Access to Education

KCF believes in the importance of higher education. This belief is the driving force behind our scholarship program, which assists children of our employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs. Through this program, we strive to make education more accessible for our Kodiak family, which helps us do our part in contributing to the success of the next generation.
The scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.

Be dependent* children, age 26 and under, of full-time Kodiak Gas Services, domestic employees who have a minimum of two years employment with the company as of the application deadline date.

High school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates, who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

*Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to four awards will be granted. Awards are renewable up to three years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, based on satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale) and fulltime enrollment.
