Objectives

The Alfred B. Glossbrenner Scholarship was established in 1988, in honor of the founding chairman of the AISE Canton District Section. In 1996, the Executive Committee of AISE Canton Section voted to award a second scholarship in honor of John Klusch for more than 35 years as Canton Section Secretary.

Awards

The Northeastern Ohio Member Chapter scholarship program will award up to four (4) scholarships. Any candidate applying for a scholarship will only be eligible to win one of the aforementioned scholarships.

Eligibility

Students eligible to compete for the Scholarship must, at the time of application, be the children (natural, step-children, adopted or ward) of a United States citizen or landed immigrant who is a member, in good standing and paid for the past two years, of the Association for Iron & Steel Technology, or be a Student Member of AIST through the Material Advantage Student Program and attend or live in the AIST Northern Ohio Member Chapter area. The student must also be accepted in an eligible full-time course at an accredited North American university or college studying engineering or metallurgy. Scholarships are renewable on an annual basis up to three additional years. Students must maintain and document a GPA of 2.5 or greater in a technical major to remain eligible for the scholarship program. 

Selection

The scholarships will be awarded principally on the basis of academic achievements with respect to High School GPA, extra-curricular activities, and planned major course of study (engineering applicants are preferred) to eligible high school senior student(s).  Consideration will also be given to a required essay from the  student(s). The awards will be made without regard to financial need and the decision from the Scholarship committee is final.

  2. The student must begin the course of study, at the college or university, in the fall of the same year the scholarship is awarded.
