Information And Eligibility:
The Vi Palo Alto Scholarship supports high-achieving students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and meaningful engagement within their communities. Open to both high school seniors and current undergraduate students, this scholarship provides financial assistance to individuals pursuing degrees at accredited colleges or universities in the United States. While students in any academic discipline may apply, preference is given to applicants with a strong interest in healthcare, business, or technology—fields aligned with Vi’s commitment to service, innovation, and community impact.

This scholarship seeks applicants who are not only academically motivated but also driven to make a positive difference in their chosen areas of study. Ideal candidates exhibit initiative, responsibility, and the ability to contribute to their school or local community through leadership roles, volunteer activities, or service-oriented projects.
