Xerox Remains Committed to Race-Based College Scholarships

The Xerox Corporation recently awarded scholarship grants to 122 black, Latino, and American Indian students who are studying science, engineering, and technology. Twelve students received $10,000 scholarships and the remaining students received $1,000 grants.

To be eligible for the grants, students must be enrolled in technical degree programs at the undergraduate or graduate level. They must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average and demonstrate financial need.

Since the program was established in 1987, more than 1,500 minority students have received Xerox Technical Minority Scholarships.
