At Solidigm, our organizational goal and purpose is to expand the possibilities of data that fuel human advancement. We know that in order to achieve that purpose and reach our goals, we need to support each of you, our incredible team members, with benefit programs that address you and your family’s personal and professional needs.
Grounded under our core value of ‘partnership’, Solidigm has partnered with Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Scholarships help children of our team members further their education via a competitive program that will help contribute toward the cost of post-high school (post upper secondary school) studies at accredited universities or institutions.
Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Solidigm Next Gen Scholarship Program must:
Grandchildren are not eligible except in the situation where Solidigm’s team member is the legal guardian.
Children of Solidigm contract workers, interns or students and Solidigm C-Suite/Executive-level team members are ineligible.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,500 award. Up to twenty {20} awards will be granted. The award payments will be issued in U.S. dollars (USD) by check (U.S. and Canada) or wire transfer. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Awards are for undergraduate study only (two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school [or equivalent] or CEGEP).
All applicants will be notified in late July.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Solidigm. Payments will start in August.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
Academic evaluation will include a review of the grade/mark average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations.
Financial need will be considered. Awards will be made based on merit and on financial need. Assuming there are qualified applicants, at least 50% of awards will be granted to students who demonstrate financial need. The other 50% of awards will be granted based on merit, regardless of financial need.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or team member of Solidigm play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
