Saia’s 2019 scholarship program packets will soon be arriving via mail to all eligible employees. As in previous years, the program is open to full-time employees and their dependents and is designed to help cover college or graduate school expenses for recipients.

This year, Saia will award 20 college scholarships — 10 in the amount of $2,000 and 10 in the amount of $1,000 for a total of $30,000. Awards will be based on qualifications outlined in the packet. In addition to the hard copies that have been mailed, employees can access the application and guidelines on Saia’s intranet.

To be eligible for consideration, all applicants must be a full-time student and carry 12 or more hours of college or graduate student courses for each semester of the school year applied under. Scholarships will be awarded based on the applicant’s academic achievement, their community service, and/or an innovation or accomplishment in a field of study and interest.

Applications must be postmarked no later than July 12. Recipients will be selected in August and letters will be sent to winning applicants. We are proud to offer this scholarship program for our employees and their dependents. As such, we invite all eligible employees to participate.
