Wells Fargo has established a scholarship program to assist Wells Fargo employees’ dependent children who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
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.

Awards
Awards will range from $1,000 to $3,000. Awards amounts will be based on financial need.
Awards are renewable on the basis of satisfactory academic performance, full-time enrollment, and continued parental employment until July 1, 2025.
Undergraduate awards are renewable at the initial award amount up to the graduation date reported on the original application. This may be up to three years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever comes first. If additional renewal terms are needed, the student must reapply.
Graduate awards are renewable up to the graduation date reported on the original application or up to one year or until a graduate degree is earned, whichever comes first.
The maximum total number of years a student may receive an award is limited to six (6) times including past recipient years (4 years maximum for undergraduate and 2 years maximum for graduate study.) Renewal awards cannot transfer from an undergraduate degree to a graduate degree. Undergraduate recipients must reapply for graduate awards.
Applicants not selected as recipients may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
