In 1996, the Executive Committee of AISE Canton Section voted to award a scholarship in honor of John Klusch for more than 35 years as Canton Section Secretary. 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 AIST, 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 at an accredited North American university or college studying engineering or metallurgy. Scholarships are renewable on an annual basis for up to three additional years. 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). One recommendation letter from a counselor, teacher or professor must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the AIST Foundation for more information.
