What is the Pearson Prize?
The Pearson Prize for Higher Education is a two-tiered award meant to both identify students who are giving back to the college community and help them continue their work. The Pearson Foundation will identify 70 students to receive the Pearson Prize in support of their school works and their commitment to the local community. The Pearson Prize offers two fellowships: – Pearson Prize National Fellows (20) receive $10,000, paid over two years. – Pearson Prize Community Fellows (50) receive $500, awarded in a single year.
