These scholarships are designed to support students at various educational levels (including high school seniors, undergraduates, and in some chapters, graduate students or trade school attendees) who are pursuing careers related to the iron and steel industry.

Scholarships are typically awarded based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, essays, and interest in the steel industry, and may be renewable.
