The SVC Foundation provides annual scholarships to students studying a field related to vacuum coating technology. The number of scholarships each year has grown through the generosity of our donors, who have helped establish various endowments to further our cause. To date, the SVC Foundation has awarded 143 Academic Scholarships, totaling nearly half a million dollars.
The SVC Foundation Academic Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to students studying a field related to vacuum coating technology. We anticipate making ten or more scholarship awards annually, generally in amounts from $1,000 to $5,000. However, the SVC Foundation and its Scholarship Committee may vary the number, amounts, and types of awards based on factors such as available funds as well as the number and quality of applications.
Eligibility: Anyone attending an accredited technical, vocational, two-year, undergraduate, or graduate school may apply. Students must be enrolled full-time during the semesters of award. Scholarships provide financial assistance to be used toward:
- Tuition, books, and fees
- School or research-related expenses
- Travel to appropriate conferences (especially the SVC Techcon)
Preference will be given to students whose major is engineering, physics, materials science, or other fields related to vacuum coating.
