However, there are no G.P.A. minimums or other specific academic requirements. The focus is on the proposed activity and its benefit.
Pepsi Scholarship Fund for Hospitality High School
Students of Hospitality High School in Washington, D.C. can take advantage of a specialized Pepsi Scholarship Fund. Applicants must be majoring in hospitality management with a minimum G.P.A. of 3.0 and at least 250 hours spent working in the hotel or hospitality industry. They must also be nominated by a high school staff member, although past graduates are also eligible. Awards vary from $500 to $3,000.
Florida Atlantic University Pepsi Cola Scholarship
The Pepsi Cola Scholarship at Florida Atlantic University is open to graduating high school seniors and current first-year students. They must have a G.P.A. of at least 2.5, demonstrate financial need, and submit a letter of recommendation from a school official.
Other Scholarships
Many Pepsi scholarships are affiliated with local bottling plants or regional corporate divisions. This is the reason many awards have very specific criteria. Just because you don't see a scholarship for which you are eligible on this list, it doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. Check with your school's guidance office or financial aid department for information on opportunities only available to students in your area. In addition, the specificity of these scholarships increases your chances of winning a financial reward. Compare your odds of winning a scholarship when students from across the United States may enter versus an award that is only available to students attending a single school.
Pepsi scholarships are yet another tool in a student's financial aid arsenal. A little research into programs available in your area could lead to great rewards.
