Sam Walton Scholarship 2012 - canceled?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I was wondering if the Sam Walton Scholarship is even being conducted for the 2012 year?</p>

<p>I can't seem to find a link. I can only find a link for some sort of Associate Scholarship where you have to be a Walmart employee - I don't think that is the "Sam Walton Community Scholarship" that people talk about though.</p>

<p>Anyone want to shed some light, perhaps provide a link if it still exists/if its not over yet?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I was just thinking that. I looked into and didn’t see a link for non-walmart or non-sam’s club employees.</p>

<p>Discontinued. :slight_smile:

<p>*The Walton Family Foundation Scholarship is no longer accepting applications. Those persons previously awarded scholarships will continue to receive their payments as previously determined.</p>

<p>**The Sam Walton Community Scholarship is no longer accepting applications.</p>

<p>I work at walmart. They sorta quietly cancelled the community scholarship and one of the scholarship programs for employees children. My two older kids both received a $3000 scholarship from walmart. They used to give one per store that was a one time scholarship. they did away with that one, but still have the renewable one that is for like $13,000 over 4 years. But they don’t give out as many of those, and the competition is much tougher. i applied for it for my son but I doubt he gets it. Of course it would be wonderful if he were to get the renewable one, but we take this college stuff one year at a time and $3000 to help this year would have been a lifesaver.</p>

<p>I also noticed that the links leading to this scholarship were broken. It’s unfortunate that scholarship opportunties are being dicontinued.</p>
