AIST Foundation Steel Intern Scholarship Premier

The AIST Foundation Steel Intern Scholarship Premier is the most prestigious of up to 50 Steel Intern Scholarships awarded annually, recognizing the top-scoring applicant with a one-year $12,000 scholarship paired with a paid summer internship. The broader Steel Intern Scholarship program awards $7,500 to each of the other selected recipients. The Premier award highlights excellence in technical education and commitment to the steel industry.

Applicants must commit to a paid summer internship at a North American steel-producing or steel-related company in the summer preceding the scholarship award. Applications are accepted via the AIST Foundation portal. Transcripts and letters of recommendation are required.
