AT&T: Investing in the Future

In the US, AT&T is the largest broadband provided with over 16 million high speed Internet customers. With over 90,000 hotspots all around the US, AT&T is also the nation’s largest Wi-Fi provider. The variety of services that the company offers makes it a one-stop company for every technology-related need. The company also upholds corporate social responsibility, being one of the leading advocates for education, most especially in the sciences.

To further this advocacy, AT&T offers scholarships and fellowship programs to students from all over the world. Through its AT&T Labs Fellowship Program, the company provides opportunities for outstanding individuals, mostly part of the minority or women, to obtain a fellowship grant that funds the graduate and post-graduate studies of the scholarship recipients. The recipients are awarded with an all-expense paid education to any summer study or university research.

This program is also an investment for the company because the awardees are given internships in the company that enables them to apply everything they have studied and trained for. AT&T also raises funds for high school and college students with the aim of helping address the crisis of drop-outs in schools and universities. Donations by the company sometimes range from a minimum of $1 million up to $100 million in scholarship funds.

AT&T is committed not only to its goal of excellent service, but also to philanthropy and boundless giving.
