What are the criteria for PEF scholarship awards?

PEF scholarship awards are competitive and are calculated based upon a proprietary algorithm that considers the student’s GPA and other measurable factors to determine eligibility.

Will I receive less scholarship money if I submit FAFSA documentation?

No. Students who submit FAFSA documentation that shows a demonstrated financial need may receive additional funds to supplement their scholarship award, but a student who qualifies for a PEF scholarship based upon our algorithm will not have their scholarship amount lowered based upon information in their FAFSA documentation.

I didn’t receive a confirmation email, what do I do?

Confirmation emails are sent automatically from info@piquaeducationfoundation.org. Check your spam/junk folder first. If you still do not see a confirmation email, reach out to PEF’s Foundation Manager, Daniele Blevins, at scholarships@piquaeducationfoundation.org or 937-733-5337.
