Teradyne Scholarship Programs

Deadline to apply: May 2, 2024 3:00 pm CT

Teradyne’s success is the result of the hard work of thousands of employees who, over nearly six decades, have used their knowledge, dedication and insight to solve some of the most challenging problems in the electronics industry. Teradyne recognizes the importance of education in our long-term success and the ongoing success of our society. The program’s scholarships – Teradyne Scholarships and the Peter Hashem Memorial Scholarship — are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

The Teradyne Scholarship Program was established in 2000 to assist employees’ children and grandchildren who plan to continue their education in college or vocational-technical school programs.
The Peter Hashem Memorial Scholarship was established in 2002 in memory of Teradyne employee Peter Hashem, who was a victim of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. During his 18-year career at Teradyne, Peter worked in Boston, MA, as an applications and software engineer, a Total Quality Management manager, and a software manager overseeing employees on both the East and West Coasts.

Teradyne Scholarships are open to high school seniors and students currently attending schools or programs that meet the eligibility criteria. The Peter Hashem Memorial Scholarship is open only to high school seniors planning to attend a school or program that meets the eligibility criteria.

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 at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
