Frequently Asked Questions
How competitive is the Dell Scholars Program?
Only 500 students are selected annually out of a large national applicant pool, so treat this as a competitive scholarship rather than a guaranteed device program — but the payoff (cash scholarship plus laptop plus textbook credits) is substantial if you're selected.
