College to career. Ambition fulfilled.
Dell Scholars demonstrate a unique set of characteristics in their quest for a college education: Drive. Tenacity. Ambition.
They are students who are motivated and dream big, who know the journey to reach their goals won’t be easy but have the commitment and determination to continue working every day.
Every year, the Dell Scholars program selects 500 students nationwide, offering comprehensive support and a scholarship to each recipient. Our support is designed to help each Dell Scholar build their ideal pathway to graduation and beyond.
