Pearson Prize
The Pearson Prize is meant to identify students who are giving back to the college community and to help them continue their service while in school. Students that attend an accredited community college, undergraduate school, or university in the United States, who have completed at least one year of studies prior to the start of the application, and who are leaders in their community should consider applying. Pearson is also seeking bright, motivated undergraduates to work on high-level projects with Pearson Executives as members of the 2012-2013 Pearson Student Advisory Board. If you are interested in applying, you will need to submit a resume, cover letter, transcript, and two letters of recommendation from employers and/or faculty or staff. Applications are due March 1, 2012. Information for both the scholarship and Advisory Board application are available on the Pearson website at pearsonstudents.com.
