    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 atpearsonstudents.com.
