Saia’s 2021 scholarship program is accepting applications! The program is open to full-time employees and their dependents and is designed to help cover college or graduate school expenses for recipients.

Saia will award 20 college scholarships — 10 in the amount of $5,000 and 10 in the amount of $2,500 for a total of 75,000. Awards will be based on qualifications outlined in the packets that were mailed to all full-time employees. The application and guidelines are also available on SaiaSONNECT and the EIC.

As previously announced, to be eligible for consideration, all applicants must be a full-time student and carry a full-time schedule of college or continuing education (at least 12 credits each semester) or graduate student classes 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.‍

Don’t forget that applications must be postmarked no later than July 9. Recipients will be selected in August and letters will be sent to winning applicants.
