Are there any scholarships funded by Walmart specifically for international students? I'm trying to find opportunities to help fund my education in the USA and wonder if Walmart offers any such scholarships and what the eligibility requirements are.
Currently, Walmart does not offer scholarships specifically for international students. The company's scholarships are generally geared toward Walmart employees and their dependents. In 2022 for example, the Walmart Foundation offered two types of scholarships: the Walmart Associates Scholarship and the Walmart Dependent Scholarship. Both scholarships required the applicant (or the applicant's parent or guardian) to be a Walmart employee.
However, there are numerous scholarships available for international students studying in the USA. You may want to explore options provided by universities themselves, private companies, governmental bodies, and non-profit organizations. Just be sure to thoroughly check the eligibility requirements—these can often include criteria related to your home country, your chosen field of study, your academic performance, and more.
Remember, scholarship applications usually require some combination of transcripts, recommendation letters, essays, and proof of eligibility. So it makes sense to start researching and preparing your application materials well in advance of any deadlines. Good luck in your scholarship search!
