Scholarships and Financial Assistance
Investing in Education Today, Shaping Futures Tomorrow
PEP believes in the transformative value of post-secondary education and the opportunities it can create for students, families, and communities. We also recognize that the cost of college and other post-secondary pathways can create significant barriers. PEP is committed to helping students understand their options, access available resources, and overcome financial barriers as they pursue their education.
Recognizing Academic Excellence
PEP encourages students to pursue every opportunity available to help fund their education. We support high school and post-secondary students in identifying and applying for scholarships offered by local organizations, community partners, colleges, and other sources.
PEP also recognizes strong academic achievement through its own scholarship opportunities, reinforcing the value of hard work, persistence, and commitment to academic success.
Investing in Post-Secondary Success
PEP is committed to helping students not only access post-secondary education, but also persist and succeed once they enroll. Because financial barriers can affect a student’s ability to enroll in school and make progress toward a degree or credential, PEP provides financial assistance to eligible graduates in good standing.
This support is designed to complement federal, state, institutional, community, and other sources of financial aid.
Our investment reflects a long-term commitment to students as they complete their education and prepare for meaningful careers.
“The PEP Program not only provided me with the financial assistance to achieve a college education but also set me up with the tools needed to navigate adulthood and my career, which in turn has allowed me to experience financial stability and travel the world. Without the assistance of PEP, I’m not sure I would be where I am in life, and for that, I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this program.”
Austin Mujai, Alum
“PEP gave me the opportunity to attend a well-renowned school and a chance to come out of college with low debt due to the tuition assistance. When you come from a low-income family, it is so much harder to establish one’s self in the real world after school. PEP gave me a leg up and a fighting chance amongst my peers.”
