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.
