Contained in this report is information regarding the financial value, the qualifications of applicants and procedures to follow in making application for a few outstanding scholarships as well as references as to where additional information may be obtained in regard to other scholarship programs available to high school graduates throughout the United States. The majority of the information used in this report was obtained directly from the companies and organizations contacted. Findings and Conclusions: The number of industrially sponsored scholarships available to high school graduates is increasingly annually. This has been brought about mainly through the realization by head of industries that college trained personnel is essential for the further growth and development of their particular enterprise.
