The Dell Scholars program is a scholarship and college completion program that nurtures and empowers students on their path to a college degree. While the program has a required 2.4 grade point average, the Dell Scholars program targets low-income, highly motivated students who are better than their numbers indicate and demonstrate the drive to succeed despite personal obstacles.
