Career Scholarship Program

The 2024 Scholarship Application Opens in June 2024


For over 40 years, Xplor International has been the association for the electronic document industry and has provided education, information, and networking opportunities to our members and the digital document industry.

In 2010, Xplor decided to go beyond its traditional member offerings to help promote and support the next generation of professionals in the electronic document and communications industry. The Xplor Member Scholarship program was founded to provide financial assistance to Xplor members and their families who are looking to pursue a career in the electronic document and communications industry.

Several scholarships are awarded each year, and scholarship candidates include students in an accredited master, four-year or two-year college or university degree program in the United States or Canada. Scholarship recipients are selected based on:

  • Their pursuit of a career in the electronic document and communications industry (which includes all phases of document and communication creation and delivery) or areas of study that would support and represent employment opportunities within Xplor member companies such as, but not limited to, marketing, accounting, engineering, etc.
  • Academic achievement
  • Participation in school activities
  • Service to the community

Our 2023 scholarship program was graciously funded by our Association Partners and the Herman L. Gimbel and Audrey M. Gimbel Memorial Scholarship Fund.  The program is also funded through Xplor’s annual online auction which is held each fall.

Announced in 2022: Xplor announces the Establishment of the Herman L. Gimbel and Audrey M. Gimbel Memorial Scholarship Fund as part of the Xplor Member Scholarship Program – Read More Here
