Walmart Foundation Scholarship Programs
 At the Walmart Foundation, we believe that a good education creates opportunities that lead to a better life. To help offset rising college tuition costs, we recently awarded more than $8 million in academic scholarships to help students afford higher education in the 2009-2010 school year.
These scholarships are especially important in a year when every dollar counts. According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers, U.S. colleges expect 20 percent more requests for financial aid, while funding for such assistance has fallen due to shrinking endowments and state budget cutbacks. The Walmart Foundation offers three scholarship programs and also administers the Walton Family Foundation Scholarship on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation.
