The scholarships are offered for full-time undergraduate study at accredited four-year colleges and universities in the USA. Up to 30 scholarships of $3,000 each will be awarded annually, 15 to graduating high school seniors and 15 to current college students.

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation created Dell Scholars to recognize and assist an underserved population—students in the academic middle from low-income households who are often among the first in their families to attend college.

Dell Scholars is a college completion program that provides students with key supports they need to obtain a college degree.

Code for fun was born from a set of volunteers who wanted to have a broader impact in computer science education for children. The founder, Servane Demol, former computer science engineer felt that the power of being able to program had to be offered widely, as it can be a rewarding skill. Having volunteers with real life experience, sharing their story, is a life changing experience for any student, hungry to learn more. You do not need to have a strong technical background to help Code for fun in its mission. We’re looking for a variety of people who want to donate their skills and join in the development of this exciting organization.

There is little you can do without a computer these days. Have you ever stopped to think how many tech devices you own? Could you imagine life without them? Computers are convenient and take over boring admin tasks for you (without taking over the world as predicted in Sci-Fi movies). In many developing countries, technology hasn't permeated as deeply and residents lack the basic knowledge that could provide additional skills and income-generation opportunities. Although smartphone penetration rates are relatively high all across the globe, many people in poor, rural areas still don't know how to use a computer. As a volunteer teaching computer literacy abroad, you can help to teach basic skills that make a huge difference.
