The James M. Cox Foundation Scholarship
Deadline: April 15
The $1,000 scholarship will be paid directly to the institution of higher education that the student chooses to attend. (If the student attends only one-year, the institution will return $500 to the Foundation.)
The Trustees of the James M. Cox Foundation would like to inform you of some of the broad parameters we use in determining which applicants will be awarded scholarships.
- The student must be a current year high school graduate with an academic record that indicates he/she will be successful in the field of higher education he/she has chosen. Students completing a GED are also eligible.
- The Scholarships are awarded on the basis of need, and therefore, we request that a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) must be completed.
- In addition to factors reflected in the FAFSA we pay particular attention the the parent's Adjusted Gross Income, the number of dependents on the tax return, and the total number of dependents who will be attending an institution of higher education the following year.
- Essays and letters of recommendation are also considered.

AES Engineering is pleased to be able to continue offering scholarships to motivated students to help in the furthering of their education.
Scholarship Criteria
Our belief is that achieving a high grade point average should not be the only criteria for determining who deserves to be helped. For that reason we are offering a scholarship that will be awarded on the basis of character, as determined by an evaluation of the essays that are submitted.
Scholarships are intended for our future leaders across a wide spectrum of fields of study. This award is available to high school seniors and all students attending a post secondary educational facility.
You are not required to be taking Engineering courses to be eligible.
