Thank you to the Copper Club community for your continued support of the scholarship program in 2023.
Copper Club Scholarship Program
From inception, the Club has made contributions, from accumulated excess funds, to causes and educational programs associated with the copper industry. The Board of Directors voted that all excess funds be used to establish a Grants Program to assist exceptional students preparing for careers in fields related to maintenance and expansion of the copper industry.
The criterion for the Grants, which can be up to $15,000 each, is academic excellence and need of financial assistance. Accordingly, the Copper Club Educational Fund was established in 1994 and it has been administered by members of the Club’s Executive/Finance Committee.
On August 17, 2000, the Copper Club (a complex trust) and the Copper Club Educational Fund, Inc. (a not-for-profit corporation) were merged and the surviving entity renamed The Copper Club, Inc. (a 501(c)3 charitable organization) which best serves the interest of the club and its members.
To date, 183 scholarships and 2 special grants have been awarded. In 1995, companies with which many of our members are associated, graciously commenced contributing to the fund. With these contributions and, hopefully many more, we are striving to build an annuity, in perpetuity, which will assure sufficient funds for eight grants per year.
To donate to the scholarship fund, contact us at info@copperclub.org
The 2023-24 application period has closed. To inquire about submitting an application for a Copper Club Academic Scholarship, please contact Jeannie St. Onge. Applicants must be submitted through their school, and scholarships are available to students entering their junior or senior year or graduate school.
