Programs
Best Buy Scholarship Program
The 2012 Best Buy Scholarship Program will award scholarships to students in grades 9-12 living in the U.S. or Puerto Rico who plan to enter a full-time undergraduate course of study upon high school graduation. Up to 1,200 students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship. With the inception of the scholarship program in 1999, Best Buy has now provided nearly $19.7 million in scholarship funds to help 15,438 students attend college.
@15 Teach Awards
At Best Buy we believe technology can excite and engage students, creating a more valuable educational experience. We also believe that the students themselves should tell us what technology they need in the classroom to make that experience the best it can be. That's why students have the power to decide the winning schools in the new Teach@15 Awards.
Community Grants
Through the Community Grants Program, Best Buy teams across the United States select non-profit organizations that give teens access to opportunities through technology. This year, Best Buy Children's Foundation will give $2 million in Community Grants.
Store Donations
Each U.S. Best Buy store has the discretion to support local nonprofit organizations with donations of product or gift cards. Donations come directly from local Best Buy stores to support 501c3 organizations within 50 miles of the store, including schools, libraries and after-school clubs. Take the store donation eligibility quiz to see if your organization is eligible to apply for a store donation. Then complete the application and submit it to your local store for a decision. The Best Buy Corporate office does not handle these types of requests.
