Ah, I did not know that Boeing had that additional condition (criteria). The only reason I picked Boeing for my example is that student guide says:</p>
<p>The Boeing Company–Every Finalist who is the child of an employee of the company or a subsidiary will be offered an award.</p>
<p>I assumed that everyone who gets to the finalist stage gets it, did not know that there were additional conditions. So that is a good point to parents. If your company is on this list, then it is important you find out what the conditions are in advance and plan for it, not wait till the last moment. My employer is not on the list of sponsors, so my son is more or less out of the race for corporate awards unless he is considered for something like the CACI International Inc award which is offered to (I am not sure what particular fields are but this what the student guide says)</p>
<p>CACI International Inc–5 awards—3 awards for children of employees of the company and its subsidiaries; 2 awards for Finalists who are planning to major in certain technological and mathematical fields.</p>
