2025 Spectrum Scholars Program



Spectrum Scholars is an annual scholarship and professional development program for college students with financial needs. 15 students will be selected for the 2025-2026 class and will receive a $20,000 scholarship to be distributed between their junior and senior years. They’ll also participate in a two-year professional development program that includes pairing them with a Spectrum employee mentor and completing a paid internship with Spectrum.

Requirements:

To be considered, applicants must:

• Be a rising college junior graduating May 2027 - August 2027 pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
• Demonstrate financial need.
• Explore summer internship opportunities with Spectrum.

• Have authorization to work in the U.S. without restrictions or need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.
• Participate and successfully complete all program-related activities.
• Reside within 50 miles of a Spectrum corporate office in Stamford, CT, Charlotte, NC, St. Louis, MO, Denver, CO, or Austin, TX.

Peer Mentors build up their peers and speak to the diversity of experiences in our student body. We're seeking applicants who can connect to and elevate the experiences of diverse business students, particularly Black, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ identified students.

Peer Mentors serve in a unique position to connect students to communities that will empower their success. The ideal candidate is ready to help their peers navigate the joys and challenges of the academic journey.
