EMS Founders Scholarship

Education has long been a powerful pathway for creating opportunity, growth, and long-term stability for individuals and families.

Eastern Metal Supply (EMS) is built on the belief that people are its greatest strength. Through a commitment to safety, continued excellence, and strong customer and vendor partnerships, EMS has created a culture rooted in humility, teamwork, accountability, and doing the right thing. These core values guide not only how EMS operates as a business, but how it supports the people who make that success possible every day.

The EMS Dependent Scholarship was created to support the children of EMS team members as they pursue their educational goals. Whether students are attending college, university, or another accredited educational program, this scholarship is designed to help ease the financial burden of higher education and empower students to focus on learning, growth, and long-term success.

EMS is proud to invest in the next generation by supporting students who demonstrate a strong work ethic, a sense of ownership, and a commitment to pushing themselves to achieve their goals. This scholarship reflects EMS’s dedication to building lasting relationships — not only within the company, but across generations — and to leaving a legacy that extends beyond the workplace.

By supporting employees’ families, EMS honors the contributions of its team and reaffirms its belief that when you invest in people, you invest in a stronger future.

Any graduating high school senior or currently enrolled undergraduate student at an accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school who has maintained a minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent) is eligible to apply for this scholarship, provided they are a dependent of a full-time EMS team member with at least one year of continuous service at the time of application.

To apply, write a personal statement including your goals and motivations. Please also share about your family member who is an employee of EMS. Additionally, upload a headshot and a copy of your family member's 1040, with all information redacted except for filer's name and dependents.
