In 2023 the HPCC Systems Community Impact scholarship was announced as a part of an effort to support the Diversity & Inclusion focus areas at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The HPCC Systems Community Impact Scholarship was launched in partnership with Scholarship America to provide two renewable $5,000 scholarships to female high school graduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds who plan to pursue a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) undergraduate degree at an eligible college.  

It was a very in-depth selection process to find the right candidates with not only good academic performance but individuals who were well rounded in many areas such as demonstrated leadership, community engagement, volunteerism, awards, and extracurricular activities. After careful consideration, the selection committee’s expectations were exceeded with two very distinguished representatives of the student community being chosen as recipients.
