According to the Pizza Hut Foundation, more than 900,000 students qualify for federal financial aid, but most students awarded federal financial aid don’t receive enough support and guidance to meet their financial needs.
Many of these financially disadvantaged students are hardworking leaders in their communities—Pizza Hut wants to be sure U.S. students involved in and around their Pizza Hut communities have access to funding to fuel their educational dreams.
Additionally, applicants must participate in the Pizza Hut Foundation’s complimentary mentorship program. Designed to assist students with their educational journeys, students will connect with Pizza Hut leaders monthly through a 14-week mentorship program.
