This scholarship is intended as a memorial for George A. Hansen, an Intuit employee for 19 years. His parents, Luisa and William Hansen, have established a scholarship program to assist employees’ children who plan to continue their education in college to pursue a college degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Students enrolled in full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice qualify for $6,000 in funding.
The 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 by the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Program must be children or direct dependents, age 23 and under, of regular full-time Intuit employees (in any country) who have a minimum of one year of employment with the company as of the application deadline and both of the following:
