Three other types of scholarships are also awarded through the Walmart Scholarship Foundation. They are offered to store employees or their dependents.

Each Wal-mart store is permitted to give two graduating high school seniors $1,000 each. The same scholarship, with identical criteria, sometimes also called the Sams Club Scholarship, is offered by each Sam’s Club store as well. Those who have graduated from public, private or home schooling, or have received their General Educational Development certificate (G.E.D.) are eligible to apply. Candidates should be full-time students enrolled in college, and have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or ACT, and maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average (GPA). In addition, these individuals must not be employed by, or be dependents of, persons employed by the corporation or its board of directors.

Walmart Store employees and their dependents are eligible for three different types of scholarship awards. First, the Walton Family Foundation Scholarship is a single award of $10,000 that is paid to students over four years of college. Parents or legal guardians must have been employed by the corporation for at least one year to qualify for this unique scholarship, and students must provide SAT scores of at least 1030 or ACT scores of at least 22 to qualify. In order to remain eligible, students must attend college full-time throughout the four years to remain eligible for the scholarship.

Another award, the Walmart Associate Scholarship is given to students who have been store employees for at least six months prior to the award. Alternatively, this unique grant may be awarded to students who are dependents of Wal-mart employees not qualified for the Walton Family Foundation scholarships. This scholarship is a nonrenewable amount of $2,000, given to students who will receive high school or home school diplomas or GEDs, and are planning to attend college on a full-time basis. Minimum SAT and ACT results are required for application.

Wal-mart has also contributed significantly to minority scholarships by endowing the Hispanic Scholarship Fund with yearly awards of $2,500. These awards are offered to Hispanic students who maintain a 3.0 GPA, and are permanent residents or citizens of the United States, and have applied for federal financial aid.

These scholarship programs have been offered for nearly 30 years to ordinary students in every community where a Wal-mart store is operated.
