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
many different communities across the country where we hav e
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:
 
        * Maintain a strong G.P.A. 
        * Have made a substantial contribution to his or her community

        * Be involved in school activities 
        * Demonstrate a financial need 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.
