International Scholarship Program
Lockheed Martin International Scholarship Program for Employee Children
Guidelines for Awards to be made in Summer of 2009 Purpose
The purpose of the Lockheed Martin International Scholarship Program is to annually provide scholarships to up to three non-US citizen children of Lockheed Martin non-US citizen employees. These scholarships are for the pursuit of studies in any country, including the United States, leading to a university degree equivalent to the baccalaureate degree in the United States. Award Amount
Scholarships are $3,000 per year, renewable for up to three additional years, or until completion of the first university degree, whichever comes first. Eligibility Application and Selection
Students who meet eligibility criteria should complete the Lockheed Martin International Scholarship Entry Form by June 30, 2009, and submit it directly to: Lockheed Martin International Scholarship Program
Institute of International Education
809 United Nations Plaza
New York, NY 10017-3580
USA Upon receipt of the Entry Form, the Institute will send eligible students a more extensive application for completion and submission. Scholarship awardees will be selected according to merit on a competitive basis and without regard to financial need. The Institute of International Education (IIE) will select the awardees based on the applicants’ academic record, qualities of leadership, extracurricular accomplishments, recommendation letters, and the students’ study proposal. In no instance will an officer, employee or board member of Lockheed Martin or the Lockheed Martin Corporation Foundation play a part in the selection of scholarship awardees. Scholarship Awardee Responsibilities
The formal scholarship offer sent to awardees by IIE specifies terms for acceptance and continuation of the award. Candidates will be responsible for securing admission for study at accredited colleges or universities and providing IIE with documentation to that effect prior to receiving final notification of an award. Enrollment must be verified before the stipend checks are sent to the students. The scholarship will not be valid for study at another institution unless so approved by IIE. Grantees will maintain in contact with IIE during the course of their studies. To verify eligibility for continued funding, grantees must provide written confirmation of their acceptable academic standing. IIE will send a reminder each spring for grantees to submit paperwork to expedite the renewal process. Administration
All aspects of the application process, selection of awardees, and payment of scholarships are performed by the Institute of International Education. Answers to questions and entry forms for non-US citizens who are children of full-time non-US citizen Lockheed Martin employees working outside the United States are available from: Ms. Carol Jones
