Description
The Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) Member Chapter Scholarships are annual awards offered by 22 local AIST chapters to support students pursuing studies and careers related to the iron and steel industry. Over 43 scholarships are granted each year, with each chapter administering its own program, eligibility requirements, amounts, and selection criteria. Scholarships are generally awarded to undergraduate or graduating high school students in relevant fields such as engineering, metallurgy, materials science, or STEM, but some chapters also consider non-engineering majors connected to the industry. The program aims to foster education, encourage local engagement, and develop future leaders in the steel sector.
