PepsiCo Foundation Scholarship Program

The PepsiCo Foundation has partnered with SUNY Westchester Community College to reduce barriers for students who face financial challenges and need additional support to achieve their academic and career goals.

About the Scholarship

The PepsiCo Foundation Scholarship Program is a need-based program that provides financial assistance to help students stay enrolled, complete their trade certificates, or associate degrees, and transition successfully into the workforce.

This initiative reflects the PepsiCo Foundation’s commitment to expanding economic opportunity by empowering individuals through education and supporting pathways to stable careers. Since its inception, the program has provided financial support to more than 4,000 students nationally, helping them pursue and complete their educational goals.

This scholarship opportunity is available at only a select number of community colleges across the United States.
