AK Steel is continuing a longstanding tradition this year by awarding college scholarships to sons and daughters of company employees. The awards recognize outstanding academic achievement, leadership and community involvement.

Mr James L Wainscott chairman, president & CEO of AK Steel said that "Earning an AK Steel scholarship speaks volumes about the students and families associated with our company. We congratulate all of our recipients for their achievements and applaud them for demonstrating the values that help make AK Steel a successful company."

The scholarships are funded by the AK Steel Foundation and are worth a maximum USD 20,000 each. The Middletown, Ohio Community Foundation independently selects each recipient.
