AIST Foundation is a Pennsylvania-based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation organized for charitable, education and scientific purposes that seeks to attract technology-oriented professionals to the steel industry by educating the public about the high-tech, diverse and rewarding nature of careers in modern steelmaking. Innovative ideas ultimately come from the new generation of students. Accordingly, the Foundation awards college scholarships and program grants to provide these students with a helping hand.

University-Industry Relations Roundtable
The purpose of the University and Industry Relations Roundtable (UIRR) is to foster communication between our university network (professors and career services representatives) and the steel industry (human resources personnel and operations representatives). The committee objective is to increase the number of professors teaching a steel-related curriculum, and to increase the number of students interested in a career in the steel industry.
