Description
The Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) Foundation offers over 43 annual scholarships through its 22 local member chapters, each with its own eligibility criteria, award amounts, and application processes. These scholarships are designed to support students interested in or preparing for careers in the iron and steel industry, including those pursuing STEM fields, engineering, metallurgy, materials science, and related disciplines. Awards are regionally administered, and students may only receive one scholarship per year per chapter, but may reapply annually. Many scholarships are open to both undergraduate and, in select cases, graduate or trade school students, with a strong preference for those demonstrating academic excellence and a commitment to the steel industry.
