Southern States Enterprise & Fischer Family Scholarship

March 05, 2019

We are now accepting Fall 2019 applications for the $1,000-$5,000 Southern States and Fischer Family Scholarship!

Southern States and the Fischer Family aspire to continually support our community by offering scholarships to the children of employees of Southern States Toyota Lift and Southern States Enterprises (SSE) for high school graduating seniors or students enrolled in a college, trade or technical school.

To be considered eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be the child of an employee who has been employed a minimum of 3 years as of May 1, 2019 and provide proof of their relationship to the employee (e.g., a birth certificate, adoption certificate, or legal guardianship certificate).

Applicants must also be a current graduating high school senior or currently enrolled in an approved educational institution and have a cumulative high school GPA of 2.5 or higher.

Once the finalists are selected, all scholarship recipients must then:

  • Attend an accredited technical school, college or university;
  • Enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester or enroll in a technical program; and
  • May re-apply for subsequent years.
