The Baxter International Foundation has established a competitive, merit-based scholarship program to assist children of eligible Baxter employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs. Legacy Hillrom employees will be eligible to participate in this scholarship program in 2023.
The scholarship award amount is $3,000 USD.
This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance 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.

Award
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $3,000 USD award.
Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) is earned, whichever occurs first.

Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of educational and career goals and objectives, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation.
Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Baxter International Foundation or Baxter International Inc. play a part in the selection process. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
Notification
All applicants will be notified via email in late May. Recipients are required to accept the award and verify their enrollment.
Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Baxter International Foundation. Payment is made in one installment.
Scholarship America disburses awards payable to the school for U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico scholarship recipients. Awards are wired to all Non-U.S. scholarship recipients once proof of enrollment and wire form has been received.
