Jerome P. Merkel Scholarship Fund

Expect invitation- or relationship-based selection rather than an open RFP; effective approaches are building local visibility, partnering with regional intermediaries (e.g., United Way, Initiative Foundation), and engaging the corporate community relations liaison listed on the parent site. Use the general corporate contact route to request conversations and emphasize local impact, event sponsorships, scholarship or youth-development alignment, and existing local partnerships.
