Walmart Foundation Scholarship Programs
At the Walmart Foundation, we believe that a good education creates opportunities that lead to a better life. To help offset rising college tuition costs, we recently awarded more than $10million in academic scholarships to help students enroll in higher education in the 2011-2012 school year. The Walmart Foundation offers two scholarship programs that benefit Walmart associates and their high school senior dependents.
