Sam Walton Community Scholarship

Applicants must use the access code (SWCS) to complete the application process

The Sam Walton Community Scholarship program, since 1981, has provided financial assistance to graduating seniors for their high academic achievement, example of leadership through school and community service activities, and financial need.  More than 6,700 top-notch high school seniors will receive $1,000 scholarships thanks to the Sam Walton Community Scholarship program funded by the Wal-Mart & SAM'S CLUB Foundation. Each Wal-Mart Store, Neighborhood Market and SAM'S CLUB has the opportunity to award two such scholarships to be used for the student's fall 2008 freshman year tuition, books, fees and on-campus room and board at a U.S. educational institution.   (Approved accreditation by the Wal-Mart Foundation must apply.   See application guidelines for a list of those accreditations).

"We hope that by helping so many young people reach their dream of a higher education, we can help improve the standard of living for families, local communities and our national community," said Betsy Reithemeyer, vice president of Corporate Affairs over the Wal-Mart & SAM'S CLUB Foundation at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
