WHAT IS THE SOL SIEGAL SCHOLARSHIP?

The Sol Siegal Scholarship honors its namesake, Olympic Steel’s founder. Originally created in 2004 as part of Olympic Steel’s 50th anniversary celebration, the scholarship rewards the hard work of the children and dependents of Olympic Steel employees with up to ten renewable scholarships.


Click here for a message from Olympic Steel’s Executive Chairman, Michael Siegal.


Sol Siegal, the youngest of nine children, is one of only two in his family to earn a high school diploma. After graduating high school, he served in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve. These experiences, and the deep value he placed on family, education, precision and hard work, followed Sol the rest of his life. Sol passed away in 2013, leaving the Sol Siegal Scholarship as a reminder of his generosity and investment in people and the community.
