Peru State College Foundation Scholarships

Each year the Peru State College Foundation offers over different 175 scholarships to students funded through the private support of alumni and friends. In 2021-22 their generosity allowed the Foundation to award nearly $275,000 to assist students. In 2022-23, the awarding amount will nearly be tripled.

A listing of all Foundation scholarships as well as a description of the students who are eligible for each can be found in the table below. There are many scholarships created to help certain kinds of students, such as those from a particular geographic region or those who choose a specific major. We encourage you to browse through the list to find a scholarship that matches your philanthropic interests. For information on how to establish a scholarship, please contact the Foundation at pscfoundation@peru.edu or by calling 402-872-2304.

Please note that the Peru State College Admissions and Financial Aid offices oversees the awarding process for all scholarships and other forms of student aid; the Foundation does not choose award recipients. Unless a different application process is noted below in the Requirements, current students fill out the annual scholarship application to apply for all non-athletic foundation scholarships. This form may be found in your myPSC account, click the Financial Aid tab, and access it from the left hand side bar menu. For more information, please contact the Financial Aid Office or call 402-872-2228. For information on applying for Athletic Foundation scholarships, please contact your sport's coach.
