Program and Application Details
Each year, Nordstrom awards college scholarships to deserving high school students across the country. We began awarding scholarships in 1993 in the San Diego area and the program has since grown to include eight states across the country where we have stores. Annually, 40 students are awarded a $10,000 scholarship, which is paid over four years to the college of his or her choice.
In order to be considered for a scholarship, students must:
* Have a cumulative unweighted GPA of at least 2.7
* Have made a substantial contribution to his or her community
* Be involved in school activities
* Be planning to apply for financial assistance to attend college and
* Be a junior in high school to apply
Regional selection committees made up of local volunteers interview the finalists in person. Once the recipients are selected, Nordstrom makes a surprise visit to the students' classroom to share the news. With their friends and family watching, the students are informed that they have won a Nordstrom scholarship. This program directly supports education in some of the communities where we do business.
The application submission period for 2010 begins January, 15 and ends May 15, 2010. Click here for .pdf when scholarship is available January 15.
