Dell Scholarship: Apply for up to $4,500, Corporate Internship

July 13, 2016 by Rehana Akter

Dell Scholarship: UNCF/Dell Corporate Scholars ProgramJust like every other year, Dell and UNCF have brought the UNCF/Dell Corporate Scholars Program for U.S. college juniors belonged to certain ethnic groups. A number of selected students will get the Dell Scholarship based on their qualifications required for the grant for the 2017-2018 academic year.

About the Dell Scholarship

Dell Scholarship is a need-based scholarship rather than a merit-based one. It does require the applicants to have a minimum 3.0 GPA out of 4.0 but the requirement is only a way to reach the academically prepared and college ready students who have financial needs. The Foundation helps underserved college juniors who come from a low-income family but have the academic potential to achieve a college education.

The financial need of the applicants is determined through eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant. The financial aid office of a student’s respective college considers the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information to determine the eligibility. They also consider a few other factors such as EFC (Expected Family Contribution), enrollment status, and the true Cost of Attendance (COA) of a student’s designated school.

The need-based scholarships are basically aimed to help closing the gap between a student’s EFC and COA, and the Dell Scholarship is not an exception.

Scholarship Award and Internship Opportunity

The UNCF/Dell Corporate Scholars Program will provide scholarships up to $4,500 and all the grantees will be considered for internship opportunities at Dell based on their eligibility, merit, and performance. The internship is a 10-week paid internship in summer 2017 and the internees will work at the Dell HQ in Round Rock, TX.

Student Eligibility

The UNCF/Dell Corporate Scholars Program warrants the applicants to fulfill some eligibility requirements:

  1. Students must have financial needs verified by their academic institution.
  2. All applicants must be the citizens of the United States or have an immigration residency status that makes them qualified for federal financial aid.
  3. Applicants must enroll full time at a 4-year program in a US located institution. No home-schooled or General Education Diploma (GED) student will be eligible for this program.
  4. Students must belong to an ethnic minority group – African American/Black, Hispanic American, Asian Pacific Islander American, and American Indian/Alaska Native.
