Dell Scholarship

Scholarship Description

It takes more than financial support to reach college graduation. That’s why the Dell Scholarship program was designed to provide a support system for the challenges many students face while pursuing a degree. Even so, we recognize that college costs can be a significant burden for many students and their families.
