Alcatel-Lucent has long been committed to education. Innovative community educational programs have been supported – consistent with our commitment to "personal growth and continuous learning."

The Alcatel-Lucent Academic Awards Program carries this commitment further by providing scholarships for children of Alcatel-Lucent employees. Students who apply must have participated in volunteer service activities and projects in their communities or schools. These awards make a significant statement to youth about the importance of intellectual development and community involvement.

This program was established to assist employees' children who plan to continue their education in college. Renewable scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student's choice in the U.S.

The Alcatel-Lucent Academic Awards Program is closed. Please return to this site in October of 2012 to access the 2012 program guidelines and application forms.

This scholarship program is administered by Scholarship Management Services, a division of Scholarship America. Scholarship Management Services is the nation's largest designer and manager of scholarship and tuition reimbursement programs for corporations, foundations, associations and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability or national origin.
