A scholarship is a form of gift aid that doesn’t have to be repaid and can be used to cover tuition and fees. Each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria such as financial need, academic achievement, the program of study, or a special skill. Recipients are chosen through an application process based on the criteria.
P.I.T. is committed to the success of our students. We know how difficult it is for students to fund their education while working and maintaining their personal lives. The scholarships shown below are available to apply for and will be reviewed by the scholarship committee for approval. This is just part of the way we can help students achieve their goals.
Applicants for participation in a P.I.T. Scholarship Program must file a FAFSA application so that eligibility for federal and/or state grant programs can be determined. The amount of a P.I.T. Scholarship award may be reduced by federal and/or state grants for which a student is determined to be eligible.
