This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Children and stepchildren of Senior Executives (General Managers, Directors, and Vice Presidents and above) are ineligible to participate in the program.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Arrow Electronics, Inc. Payments are made in one installment in August.

Recipient’s parent must be actively employed at Arrow Electronics, Inc. at the time scholarship payments are issued.

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Honors
  • Work experience
  • Statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation

Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is reviewed to determine the amount of each award, ranging from $2,000 to $5,000.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Arrow Electronics, Inc. play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
