Calico Trailers Mfg. Co. invests in postsecondary access for students in Arkansas through the Calico Trailers Scholarship Program. The company has established a renewable scholarship for high school seniors in the Quitman School District who plan to continue their education in college, with support available for full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year college, four-year college, or university. The award amount is $1,000, and one award is granted each year.
The program’s structure shows a sustained commitment rather than a one-time recognition. Recipients may renew the scholarship for up to three additional years, or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever comes first, if they maintain a cumulative 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale and the program continues. Calico Trailers Mfg. Co. directs its support to students at the transition point between high school and college and ties renewal to continued academic performance.
