The Alumni Scholarship was created as a way to aid students closest to our alumni. Funds for this scholarship are made possible by gifts from alumni, friends of the University and from the proceeds of the Annual Alumni Scholarship Golf Tournament and other events.
The number of scholarship recipients varies from year to year depending on the funds available. The Alumni Board of Directors and Alumni Relations team at PBA are dedicated to growing the Alumni Scholarship Fund so that more students may benefit from the award.
The Alumni Scholarship is not guaranteed to every applicant who is related to an alumni; it is a selective process and there are several criteria which recipients must meet.
You may apply for the Alumni Scholarship if you are related to a PBA alumnus or alumna. The scholarship amount is $1,500 annually and is renewable for up to eight semesters if the recipient remains in good standing at PBA. Only undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Recipients are chosen primarily upon their relationship to an alumnus or alumna of PBA, as well as demonstrated financial need; GPA and community service are also factors.
The application for the 2020-2021 academic year is closed. The deadline to apply was March 1, 2020. Decisions will be shared in May, 2020. If you have questions, contact your Admissions counselor or email katie_gentry@pba.edu.
