The HP Women’s Scholarship Fund at University of the People

What it covers

[ad#contentadtext] The Hewlett-Packard (HP) Women’s Scholarship Fund, unveiled at DLDWomen12, offers two-year scholarships to 100 female students at University of the People (UoPeople) enabling them to study towards an Associate degree in a program of their choice. Students who are awarded a scholarship also have access to mentoring support from HP employees. These HP mentors provide UoPeople students with invaluable guidance and support, enriching their academic learning experience and playing a pivotal role in preparing them for employment after graduation. The mentors are an integral part of the support students receive in this program. University of the People is a tuition-free, non-profit institution. The University does not charge students to take classes, does not charge for any reading and other study materials, and does not charge for annual enrollment. However, In order to remain sustainable, UoPeople charges small processing fees for application and examination processing. Applicants are charged a onetime $50 Application Processing Fee to cover the cost of reviewing and processing an application. UoPeople charges an Exam Processing Fee of $100 per end-of-course exam. These fees, including the projected maximum cost for the entire degree program, are publicized on the website and in the Catalog. Those individuals who are unable to pay their Exam Processing Fees may be eligible to apply for the HP Women’s Scholarship Fund to cover the cost of the exam processing fees, as well as potentially the cost of the application processing fee.
