Scholarship Process at the Pizzi Foundation

At the Pizzi Foundation, we provide scholarships exclusively through pre-selected sites where we have established trusted relationships with administrators, families, and students. This ensures the integrity of the application and selection process while maintaining a non-biased approach to awarding scholarships.
 

  • Our Role: We do not select individual students. Instead, we collaborate with site administrators to manage the process.

  • Annual Process: At the beginning of each year, board members reach out to site administrators to inform them about scholarship opportunities. We accept and review applications from these sites through April.

  • Selection Criteria: Applications are reviewed for completeness and alignment with our criteria before final decisions are made. 
     

The sites we support are listed below. If you are a student at one of these sites, please contact your school administration and reach out to us directly for more information about the application process. We’re here to help you take the next step toward your educational goals.
