Sam Walton Community Scholarship

Posted: under Financial Aid, Scholarship of the Week, Scholarships.

You may not know who Sam Walton is, but you have probably heard of his stores, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. There are 4,000 Wal-Mart stores in the US and more than 2,900 abroad. The store has encountered plenty of controversy about employee treatment, but it has decided to give something back. Through the Sam Walton Community Scholarship, students across the nation will be assisted in their search for financial aid. Interested students can not be employees or relatives of store employees, but those who are may be eligible for larger Wal-Mart scholarships. Applicants will be judged on their ACT/SAT scores, community service, leadership, cumulative GPA and financial need. For additional information about this scholarship (including contact information) please conduct a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com.

Prize:

1. Each Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club store may award up to two $1,000 scholarships.

Eligibility:

1. Applicant must be a citizen or permanent legal resident of the U.S.
2. Neither the student nor the parent may be employed by Wal-Mart
3. Applicant must be a high school or home school graduate (or must receive their GED) between August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008
4. Applicant must meet the minimum 2.5 GPA criteria

Deadline:

January 14, 2008

Required Material:

Requirements outlined in Wal-Mart application

Further details, including information about applying, can be found by conducting a free scholarship search. Once a student has completed the search, this scholarship will appear in their scholarship list, provided the student is eligible.
