Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation

Scholarship Program Operating Procedures

Purpose
The purpose of the Scholarship Program is to identify eligible undergraduate and graduate college students who are descendants of a participating Honeywell Retiree Club of Arizona member and award them money to help reduce their costs for a college education.

Summary
The Scholarship Program is a joint program by Honeywell International (HON) and participating Honeywell Retiree Clubs of Arizona and their members to encourage learning and education by providing financial assistance to college students who are descendants of active or deceased Club members.

The Honeywell Retiree Social Club of Arizona (HRSC) serves as the Club that oversees the activities of the Scholarship Program. 

Operating procedures and finances are managed by the Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation (i.e. the Scholarship Foundation).

Interested volunteers from each of the participating Retiree Clubs of Arizona can join the Scholarship Foundation Board meetings but will not be a voting Board member.

Funding
The source of the funds for these scholarships is shared between the participating Retiree Clubs of Arizona and Honeywell International as follows:
  • Honeywell Retiree Social Club of Arizona:   $1,500
  • Garrett Retirees’ Club:  $1,500
  • Honeywell International:  $3,000
  • Additional Honeywell Retiree Clubs of Arizona (to be determined) will fund at the same rate as current participating Retiree Clubs
  • Individual contributions made through the 501(c)(3) charitable contributions option

Modifications to the rate of annual contribution may be changed with agreement from all participating Clubs.

Funding should be completed by the end of January.

Award Levels
Generally, awards will be made in the range of $500 to $3,000 per recipient.  The Scholarship Foundation Board may modify the award amounts based on funds that are available.

To ensure flexibility in the program, at the discretion of the Scholarship Foundation Board, funds may be: 
  • used to increase individual awards, or
  • used to increase the number of available awards, or
  • retained for award in mid-year, if an applicant presents for consideration, or
  • retained for use in the following year.

The Scholarship Foundation Chair will report to the funding entities on the status of funds, twice each year.

School Eligibility Requirements

1.
Must be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (formerly the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools)

2.
Current qualifying Universities include Arizona’s three major universities:  University of Arizona (UA), Arizona State University (ASU) and Northern Arizona University (NAU).
As funding expands, other Arizona State colleges and universities may be added.

Student Eligibility Requirements

1.
The student must be a legal descendant of an active or deceased member of a participating Honeywell Retiree Club of Arizona.  (A deceased Retiree Club member is defined as a member who passed away while holding active membership in one of the participating clubs.)

2.
The student should have attained a 3.0 or better Grade Point Average (GPA).
While it is the intent of the Scholarship Foundation to ensure awards are provided to students who are serious about studying and graduating, the Scholarship Foundation Board has the flexibility to consider other factors when reviewing grade point average for awards.

3.
The student must be entering the second semester freshman year, a sophomore, a junior, a senior, or in a graduate course of study.

NOTE: Enrolled freshmen may apply during the second freshman semester for their sophomore year, providing they attain a 3.0 GPA or greater in their first semester. Second semester GPA will also be considered for the award.

4.
Students may be enrolled in any field of study, although preference may be given to a student who is enrolled in a technical field, in the event two or more applicants qualify for the same scholarship award.

5.
Candidates must re-apply annually.

Retiree Club Membership Requirement

As part of the applicant review process, the Scholarship Board will confirm that the applicant’s listed relative is an active or deceased member of a participating Honeywell Retiree Club of Arizona.

Active membership is defined as membership as of December 1 of the year the scholarship application process begins.  (Example:  for the 2019-2020 program year, active membership must be in place by December 1, 2018.) A deceased Retiree Club member is defined as a member who passed away while holding active membership in one of the participating clubs.

Selection Process

Selections are made by the Honeywell Retiree Clubs Scholarship Foundation Board.
