Dayton Superior Building Leaders Scholarship

The Dayton Superior Learning Center offers a two-year professional development program called Building Leaders for high potential and high achieving recent college graduates that join the Dayton Superior team. Six new members are chosen every year to engage in off-site and online learning, mentoring relationships with senior management, and group skill-building activities.

The Dayton Superior Building Leaders Class of 2016 has established two $1,000 scholarships for graduating Miamisburg High School Seniors that exemplify the qualities looked for in Building Leaders candidates. These qualities include leadership, achievement, and ingenuity.

Each scholarship applicant must meet the following requirements:

·  Student must be a graduating senior

·  Student must have a GPA of 3.0 or above

·  Student must be pursuing a 2 or 4-year degree at an accredited college or university in any major

·  Student must have proof of acceptance at chosen institution

·  Student must submit all required attachments and essay listed on application page

Selection Process

The top 5 applicants will be selected to visit Dayton Superior Corporation on a scheduled afternoon after school hours to tour the recently built Innovation Center, a 15,000 sq. ft. addition to the Miamisburg-based office that is dedicated to research and development through utilization of state-of-the art instrumentation.

These finalists will participate in a brief (approximately 10 minutes) and casual interview, as well as a pizza luncheon with current and recently graduated Building Leaders. Members of the senior management team will also stop by to say hello before the visit is over. The two winners will be selected shortly after this event based on their application, recommendation letters, essay answer, and interaction with the Building Leaders.
