Pizza Hut Foundation Scholarship

Deadline: 9/3/24 Award Amount: Various award amounts from $500 up to $2,000 If you need another reason to like pizza, here you have it: Pizza Hut offers scholarships for students looking to continue their education! The 2024 scholarship opportunities are available for students on a variety of educational or career training paths. Students currently enrolled in or planning to enroll in vocational, technical, or trade school programs and two- or four-year colleges or universities can apply for the Pizza Hut Foundation scholarship. According to the Pizza Hut Foundation, more than 900,000 students qualify for federal financial aid, but most students awarded federal financial assistance don’t receive enough support and guidance to meet their financial needs.
Many of these financially disadvantaged students are hardworking leaders in their communities—Pizza Hut wants to be sure U.S. students involved in and around their Pizza Hut communities have access to funding to fuel their educational dreams.
