Description:
The Dell Scholars Program enables more under-served students with
financial need to achieve their greatest potential through higher
education. The Dell Scholars Program is offered to those high school
students participating in an approved AVID program. The funding for
each Dell Scholar is substantial: $20,000. The value of these 250
scholarships equals $5 million. MSDF believes that funding a
significant percentage of their college expenses will enable these
