Acecnture Scholarship Program for Minorities, Deadline: January 31, 2011

Accenture is pleased to sponsor the Accenture Scholarship Program for Minorities. This scholarship program was created to encourage minorities to pursue degrees in engineering, computer science, and a variety of programs related to information systems and decision or management sciences.

Scholarship awards of $2,500 are awarded to outstanding students for undergraduate study. Recipients must be enrolled as full-time students in at least two semesters of the 2011-2012 school year to receive the full award.

Applicants to this program must be:

• African American, Hispanic American, Native American, or Asian American.
• A U.S. citizen, permanent resident, asylee or refugee.
• Enrolled in at least the third year of course work by the fall semester 2011 in a full-time undergraduate program in engineering (electrical, industrial, mechanical, or systems are preferred), computer science, information systems (accounting, business, computer, management and related), decision or management sciences, or other programs whose curricula are equivalent to the above.
• Above-average in academic performance. Generally, this means that the applicant is at least a "B" student; however, the difficulty of curriculum concentration and course selection will be considered.
• Proficient in quantitative skills as evidenced through quantitative course work and/or exams.

Partners, employees, and children of partners and employees of Accenture are not eligible to apply.
