• Academic record
• Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
• Work experience
• A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
• Unusual personal or family circumstances

Financial need will also be considered.

Students will be evaluated within the pool of applicants from the work country/site from which the Intel employee receives their salary.

The first 50% of awards will be granted to recipients based on the student’s achievement. This includes academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, a statement of goals and aspirations and unusual personal or family circumstances. The next 50% of awards will be based on a combination of achievement and financial need. Financial need must be demonstrated by the information provided on the application to be selected as a recipient in the second 50% grouping.

Tax Information

Each country/site has different tax laws; all recipients are responsible for checking with their local tax authority as to the taxability of the award.

For Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, the United States, and Vietnam

Awards are generally not considered taxable because this is a competitive scholarship program and not an employee benefit. For all other countries please refer to the taxability matrix for guidance. Specific country processing information is listed below.

For Argentina, Egypt, Germany, Ireland, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom Only

Due to taxation laws, scholarships awarded to children of Intel employees will be considered a benefit and therefore taxable. Tax payments will be made in the pay slip of the employee whose daughter/son was awarded a scholarship. Taxation will be processed after the scholarship is awarded according to local taxation rules.

For Australia Only

Due to taxation laws, scholarships award to children of Intel employees will be considered a benefit and therefore taxable as a Fringe Benefit. Tax payments will be made by Intel.

For Canada Only

The scholarship award is not considered a taxable benefit to the employee, hence there will be no tax withholding on the scholarship award in Canada. Instead, the scholarship award will be reported on a T4A slip for the employee’s awarded dependent/student. Scholarship Management Services, the program administrator, will issue a T4A slip to the awarded recipient, the employee’s dependent/student, in January for tax purposes. It is the responsibility of the award recipient to report the income on his or her income and benefit tax return, and consult with a tax advisor to determine full taxability.

For Israel Only

Due to taxation laws, scholarships awarded to children of Intel employees in Israel will be considered a benefit and therefore taxable. Tax payments will be made in the pay slip of the employee whose daughter/son was awarded a scholarship. Taxation is made in the pay slip of the month following the month in which the scholarship was awarded. Example: If award will be received in August the tax will be deducted in the September pay slip. For questions regarding taxation or payroll deductions, please contact your Intel payroll processor.

For Philippines, Korea, Thailand Only

There will be no tax withholding on the scholarship award in the Philippines, Korea and Thailand. It is the responsibility of the employee to file their own personal tax return with payment of tax made direct to the tax authority.

For Japan Only

There will be no tax withholding on the scholarship award in Japan. IJKK payroll will not deduct any tax from the employee’s paycheck. However, it is the responsibility of the employee to file their own personal tax return with payment of tax made direct to the tax authority. Find more information on tax withholding implications.

For Poland Only

There will be no tax withholding on the scholarship award in Poland. The scholarship payments are made to the dependent and will be considered the student’s personal income. It is the responsibility of the award recipient to report the income on his or her income and file according to local taxation rules.
