Peirce Student Scholarships

Peirce offers need-based and non-need-based graduate and undergraduate college scholarships and grants to help students fund their educations.

Peirce College Scholarships, Grants and Awards

The application for scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic year is now open. The deadline for completing the application is July 15, 2019. 

One way Peirce makes higher education accessible and attainable is by helping our students fund their degrees through scholarships. The student scholarships listed below are available to Peirce College undergraduate students only (except for the Cederstrom Scholarship, which is also available to graduate students) and are used for tuition and/or fees only unless otherwise stated.

Please review the graduate and undergraduate scholarship opportunities below carefully. Many (but not all) of these college scholarships and grants can be applied for using the Peirce College Common Scholarship Application form. Some also require an essay and/or recommendation letters.  

Please note: If you are receiving other outside aid and/or Peirce College funds that cover tuition, your scholarship may be reduced or eliminated.

Helpful Scholarship Application Hints:

Scholarship essays should use the following formatting, unless otherwise specified:

  • Double-spaced

Letters of recommendation should follow these guidelines:
