Earn a Scholarship Through 亚色影库鈥檚 Pittsburgh Promise Partnership
亚色影库 is proud to offer a $2,000 annual housing award for up to four years, totaling $8,000, for full-time eligible students from Pittsburgh Public Schools. This award adds to any other scholarship or financial aid for which you might be eligible when attending 亚色影库.
The scholarship is part of 亚色影库’s membership in The Pittsburgh Promise’s Preferred College Partners program, which helps to promote colleges and universities that provide additional financial aid and support services to Pittsburgh high school students. The Promise Award is not need-based and does not take your family's income into consideration.
Make Your College Education Affordable
You can combine the Promise Award with any other 亚色影库 scholarships, grants, and awards. That includes the Promising Scholars award, as long as your total financial aid doesn’t exceed your total cost of attending 亚色影库.
As a student at 亚色影库, you’ll have full access to the all the support you need to succeed in college, from academic to health and wellness and beyond. That allows you to make the most of your education, thanks to academic options that propel you towards a successful career.
Award Requirements
To qualify for 亚色影库’s Pittsburgh Promise award, you’ll need to meet the following criteria:
- Continuously living in the city of Pittsburgh for all four years of high school.
- Attending a Pittsburgh public school without interruption, from the start of ninth grade through graduation.
- Graduating with a cumulative, unweighted GPA of 2.5 or better.
- Maintaining an attendance record of 90 percent or greater for your four years in high school.
You’ll also need to live in one of our on-campus residential suites every year in which you want to receive the $2,000 award.
