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.

  • Plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two-or four-year college or university for the entire academic year.
  • Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent).

Dependents of Garmin executives are not eligible for the NextGen Scholarship.

Awards are for undergraduate study only and can be used for any education-related expense.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in March.

Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Garmin International, Inc. Payment is made in early August.

Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • A self-appraisal of your strengths and abilities related to your goals

Applicants must submit an essay response (2,500 character limit) to the following question: “What does equity and inclusion mean to you?  Considering your own community, how have you or will you influence equity and inclusion?  Describe actions you have taken, or plan to take in the future, to promote equity and inclusion in your community”

Financial need is not considered.

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

As part of your application, you must upload the following:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display student name, school name, grades and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.
