Dell Scholars Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Dell
The Dell Scholars program helps you earn your degree and launch your career. Each year, 500 students become Dell Scholars, gaining financial assistance, academic advising, career coaching, and a team of dedicated experts who support them every step of the way.
A Program Built for You
We know that every student’s college experience is different. That’s why our program takes a personalized approach.
Academic
Success in college starts with people who’ve got your back. Regular check-ins with advisors and resources help you stay on track—balancing classes, setting goals, and making big decisions.

College is expensive, but we’re here to help. A $20,000 flexible scholarship covers tuition and housing—plus a laptop, book credits, and emergency funds—so you can focus on learning, not expenses.
Professional
We provide guidance and resources to explore careers and build connections, helping you navigate options and prepare for your first job after college.

Your well-being matters. Dell Scholars get free teletherapy, helping you stay strong through college and into your career.
