Wal-Mart currently maintains four distinct scholarship programs in their focus on

educational responsibility:

The Associate Scholarship is a need-based award available to employees. Applicants may

educational motivation. Besides tuition, money awards may be used to defray the costs of

textbooks, on-campus residential expenses and food plans.

Sam Walton Community Scholarships are designed for students in a community with

either a Sam’s Club or Wal-Mart store. Applicants must submit applications with a local

store number attached. This program is not open to employees or their dependents and

eligible candidates must have a high school diploma or equivalent.

Higher Reach Scholarships are also designed for Associate-employees, but the selection is

Applicants are not eligible until after a full year of employment. The selection committee is

unassociated with Wal-Mart for the sake of fairness. Up to a maximum of $2,000 is

awarded per academic year.

Wal-Mart Family Foundation Scholarships are awarded to dependents of Associates. Up to

$10,000 may be granted for a four-year program and winners are chosen on the basis of

education by providing scholarships to deserving students.

determining who deserves to be helped. For that reason we are offering a scholarship that

will be awarded on the basis of character, as determined by evaluating the essays that are

submitted.

Amount of award: $500.00
