PepsiCo Inc.’s (NASDAQ:PEP) Frito-Lay brand has created a needs-based scholarship aimed at students who demonstrate a commitment to uplifting and leading their communities.
The Frito-Lay Community Builders Scholarship will award four students $25,000 each to help further their higher-education goals. Applications are now open through Nov. 20; the winners will be announced Jan. 30, 2024.
The scholarship is open to students living in the U.S. who are either high school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study in the U.S. at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year; current college undergraduates are also eligible to apply. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent) for consideration.
“At Frito-Lay, we are committed to celebrating and supporting the next generation of community leaders by providing them with resources to help build a brighter future,” said Joan Cetera, vice president of corporate affairs at PepsiCo. “As these young leaders take the reins, we see a path towards a future where communities are more resilient, where diversity and inclusion are celebrated, and where every individual has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.”
