Fluor-BWXT is excited to announce that we are currently accepting applications for the 2025 FBP STEAM and Trade scholarship program. In addition to the 10 $2,000 scholarships awarded to local students studying STEAM-related careers at a four-year university, FBP will also be awarding four $1,000 scholarships to students enrolling in a certification program or training for a trade career.

Students applying for the STEAM scholarship must be majoring in in a field related to science, technology, engineering, arts, or math.

Students must also have a minimum grade point of average of 3.0 have been accepted to an accredited university.

Qualifications for the inaugural trade scholarship include a minimum grade point average of 2.8 and have been accepted into a two-year college or vocational program or pursing a trade degree or certificate.

The scholarship programs are open to all graduating seniors enrolled in schools located in Pike, Scioto, Ross, and Jackson counties.

Deadline for both scholarships - Due by 5 PM on Friday, February 21, 2025. 

Due to a security feature, this form doesn’t have the capacity to save and must be completed in one sitting. We do ask the students upload two recommendation letters and their transcripts with their social security number blacked out. We accept files that are PDFs, JPG and Word Documents.  Since the form must be completed in one sitting, we are recommending the student type out their essays in Microsoft Word, an email, or some similar program which could be copied and pasted it into the essay box.
