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 John Klusch Scholarships 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 and 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 course 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 scholarship will be awarded principally based on 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 students.
