Pierson Family Scholarship for U.S. Studies

International students face a wide array of challenges when pursuing higher education.

Between language barriers, cultural differences, citizenship struggles, and more, there are many obstacles that can stand in the way of a student achieving their academic goals. The financial cost of college can also be overwhelming for international students, as they often have fewer options for financial aid.

This scholarship aims to support international students who want to pursue higher education in the United States.

Any low-income, international and/or non-US citizen student who has at least a 3.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship, but those from Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Rwanda are preferred.

To apply, tell us about your background and what inspired you to pursue higher education in the U.S., and what your plans are for after you graduate.
