Foundation Scholarship Committee

The work of this committee will focus on the Scholarship Awards. In its first year of existence, the SVC Scholarship Program drew applicants from all over the world with a total of over 20 applications. The applications are evaluated using a blind process from a committee composed of renowned vacuum coating technology experts selected from industry and academia.

According to one of the scholarship recipients, “Attending the Technical Conference was an exceptional experience. It provided me with an opportunity to fully appreciate the depth and breadth of vacuum coating technology as well as to meet some of the world experts in this field. In this respect, the Scholarship Program of the SVC is much more than a check".

The scholarship application forms will be available on the SVC Web Site in the fall of each year.

Scholarship Fund
The SVC scholarship fund is intended to further the education of people entering or already participating in a course of study important to vacuum coating technology at an accredited institution. Anyone attending an accredited technical, vocational, two-year, undergraduate or graduate school may apply, including students and practitioners already working in the vacuum coating technology field. Scholarships provide a financial award to be used toward tuition, books and fees at an accredited educational institution. SVC Foundation flyer.

It is anticipated that two or more scholarship awards of $2500 or more will be made annually. However, the SVC Foundation and its Scholarship Committee may vary the number, amounts and types of awards made based on factors such as funds available and the number and quality of applications received.

Am I eligible to apply?
Any individual who is entering or is currently a student in a course of study important to vacuum coating technology at an accredited educational institution may apply. Past scholarship winners are welcome to apply again, provided that they still meet the required criteria.

How do I apply?
Application may be made for the annual scholarship between September 1 and January 31 of each calendar year. The guidelines and application materials may be revised from year to year.

3. Submit two scholarship recommendation forms, including at least one from a professor at your educational institution.
4. Ensure that two original copies are received at the SVC Foundation office not later than January 31.

How are decisions made?
The SVC Foundation annually appoints a scholarship selection committee to review scholarship applicant materials. The selection committee reviews all materials submitted and considers and weighs a variety of factors such as:

• relevance of applicant’s field of study to vacuum coating technology and the goals of the Society of Vacuum Coaters and its charitable and educational foundation;
• the applicant’s academic achievement, including grades, courses selected, interdisciplinary skills and interests;
• the applicant’s personal qualities including motivation, social values, maturity, and goals; and
