Up to $10,000 up for grabs through the Peirce College President’s scholarship competition
No matter how large or small, every scholarship amount can help make earning a degree more affordable.
And chances are, you’re eligible for more scholarships than you think. Your school, local businesses or organizations you’re involved in, your employer, your heritage — many of these open doors to small scholarships.
Don’t miss out on these opportunities that are right at your fingertips! A recent Wall Street Journal article by reporter Emily Glazer talks about how students are finding that smaller scholarships can be a big help when it comes to financing their education.
At Peirce, we have a variety of scholarships of all sizes to help our students finance their education.
The deadline for one great resource, our President’s scholarship competition, is quickly approaching. It’s an opportunity you shouldn’t pass up.
Who can apply? New applicants or current Peirce College students seeking their bachelor’s degree who have fewer than 15 credits
How much? Up to $10,000
Deadline: Oct. 31, 2011
