AK Steel is dedicated to safely producing the highest quality steel products for our customers, delivering them on-time and providing them with outstanding service.

  • Certain college freshmen attending an accredited U.S. state or private not-for-profit college or university in 2016 may have been ineligible during their final year of high school for the 2015 scholarship awards solely due to the inability of the AK Steel employee-parent to satisfy the length-of-service criteria to qualify as an Eligible Employee
