Apply for the STAR Fund

Applicants to The STAR Fund can apply online below. No one can apply on behalf of a Team Member, except in the situations where a Team Member has passed away (In this case, a family member can apply for a STAR Funeral Grant) or in the event the applicant is unable to apply based on physical injury and has given express permission for their supervisor or HR person to apply on their behalf. Applications will not be reviewed without proper documentation, which can be submitted to the STAR Administration email at: STARadmin@schmidtgroup.us. Once an application is received, it is reviewed by The STAR Fund Admin Team. The STAR Admin Team will work with the applicant to ensure all necessary documentation is included and then submit the application to The STAR Fund Board of Trustees for review and decision based on the eligibility guidelines. The STAR Fund Admin Team will contact the applicant if any necessary paperwork is missing. In the event that an applicant does not speak, read, or understand English, that applicant bears responsibility to arrange for translation services. Specifically, please designate an English-speaking person to communicate with the STAR Fund Admin Team on your behalf regarding your application. There is a place on the STAR Fund Emergency application to include that person’s name and contact information.
