The Henkel Corporation Scholarship Program is sponsored by the Henkel North American corporation. These scholarships are available to students from underrepresented groups in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico who require financial aid. Henkel has awarded more than $2.5 million in scholarships to over 800 students through its entire scholarship and internship programs as of December 2021.
Recognizing the need for systemic change to address the hurdles that prevent low-income students of color from pursuing higher education, it announced the expansion of its Scholarship and Internship program for Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous students across North America. A $1 million project will provide financial aid and internship chances to dozens of students. This initiative, which is a collaboration between UNCF (United Negro College Fund), the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Pathways to Education Canada, and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, is designed to ensure that students from underrepresented communities have an equal opportunity to succeed.
The Henkel scholarship’s purpose is to increase access to high-quality education and career opportunities, which is a vital lever in closing the societal and corporate equity gap. These new Henkel scholarship and internship programs will target students from underrepresented populations in North America, helping to develop the future workforce. This project is aimed to give students from disadvantaged communities an equitable opportunity to achieve their dreams.
