If selected as a recipient, a student will receive a $1,500 scholarship award during the following year of undergraduate study. The Sonnentag Foundation processes payments on behalf of Central Processing Corporation. Awards are paid in one installment at the beginning of the second semester of school, and only after the Sonnentag Foundation has received a paid second semester fee statement as well as a grade report from the first semester. It is the student’s responsibility to present the Sonnentag Foundation with these documents. Checks are mailed to each recipient’s home address and are made payable to the school for the student.

Applicants are responsible for gathering and submitting all necessary information. Applications are evaluated on the information supplied; therefore, please answer all questions as completely as possible. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated. All information received is considered confidential and is reviewed only by the Sonnentag Foundation.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership, participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of goals and aspirations, and unusual or challenging personal or family circumstances a student has overcome or is overcoming. Selection of recipients is made by the Sonnentag Foundation without regard to race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, disability or national origin.

How do I apply?
To apply for a Sonnentag Foundation scholarship, the student must complete and submit an official application by July 31 following their graduation from high school.
What if I forgot or didn’t apply during my first year of eligibility?
A student remains eligible for consideration for one scholarship award through your third year of college. If you did not apply before your freshmen year, you may still apply during either your sophomore or junior year for one scholarship. All applicants must be under the age of 24.
What is the most I can be awarded in scholarships?
The award amount is $1,500 and you may apply and be selected to receive a maximum of one award. Payment is made in the academic year following your selection.
Who administers the selection process?
The scholarship competition, including the overall administration of the program, selection of award recipients and the processing of scholarship payments, is handled by the Sonnentag Foundation. All information included on the application is considered confidential. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, age, gender, disability or national origin.
If my child is attending a college abroad, is he or she still eligible to receive a Sonnentag Foundation Scholarship?
Yes. As long as the parent is a Central Processing employee and meets the eligibility requirements, any student may apply.
Are all graduating high school seniors eligible?
Only children of active Central Processing Corporation employees who work 20 hours or more per week, and have at least one year of service with the company by the application deadline, are eligible to apply for scholarships through the program. Children include unmarried, natural or legally adopted children, stepchildren, and any other children for whom the employee has been appointed legal guardian. All children must be under the age of 24.
Can I still receive my scholarship if I transfer from one college to another?
The Sonnentag Foundation must be notified in the event a student transfers or plans to transfer to another college anytime during the school year before they receive their Sonnentag Foundation scholarship award. To be eligible for the scholarship, it is the student’s responsibility to submit to the Sonnentag Foundation a paid second semester fee statement from the college they are transferring to, as well as a grade report for the first semester college they attended.
I intend to use the Sonnentag Foundation scholarship money to pay my second semester invoice. Can I receive the scholarship money if I don’t have a paid second semester fee statement from the college?
If a student is unable to provide a paid second semester fee statement, and requests to apply their Sonnentag Foundation scholarship toward their second semester fee in order to enroll in the college, the Sonnentag Foundation must be notified in advance. The Sonnentag Foundation will review the request; if the student continues to meet eligibility requirements, the Sonnentag Foundation Scholarship will be disbursed directly to the student’s college, not to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the foundation with the contact information for the school’s financial aid office. The Sonnentag Foundation will work directly with the school and send the scholarship funds in the student’s name to the financial aid office prior to the beginning of the term/semester.
Do I automatically lose my scholarship if I take a semester off?
If you do not stay continuously enrolled in college for both terms, or opt to take a semester off, you will not be eligible to receive your Sonnentag Foundation scholarship. To be eligible for the scholarship, it is the student’s responsibility to submit to the Sonnentag Foundation a paid second semester fee statement from the college they will be attending, as well as a grade report for the first semester college they attended.
Can the scholarship be applied toward graduate school?
No. You may only use the scholarship funds for an undergraduate associate or bachelor’s degree.
