Program Description

The HP Scholar Award is a highly selective scholarship opportunity for students interested in CE, CS, or EE. The total value of the four-year cash scholarship, HP Scholar Productivity Package and the three paid internships may exceed $40,000 per student. Scholarship awards are $12,000 ($3000 per year for four years) and are intended to help defray educational expenses. Upon acceptance into the program, each HP Scholar receives a Productivity Package which includes an HP laptop, printer, and PDA.

High school seniors and community college transfer students that are preparing to attend one of the partnership universities are invited to apply for this scholarship prior to enrollment at the university.

Berdakin Family Latino/a Emerging Leader Scholarship
