Pierson Family

The Pierson Family Scholarship for U.S. Studies is designed to support international students who wish to pursue higher education in the United States. Funded by the Pierson Family, the scholarship awards a total of $10,000, divided among two winners, each receiving $5,000. The scholarship aims to alleviate the financial burden faced by low-income international students, particularly those from Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Rwanda, who often encounter various challenges in accessing higher education due to financial constraints and other barriers.
