The Pinellas Education Foundation (PEF) offers a variety of scholarships based on academic achievement, talent, or financial need. Each year, PEF awards more than $700,000 in scholarships ranging from $500 to $20,000 to graduating Pinellas County seniors.

You only need to fill out one application to be considered for multiple scholarships based on your needs and goals – whether you’re planning to attend traditional college, technical, culinary or arts schools. You may be asked to submit additional information such as essays, letters of recommendation, or financial documents. If that’s the case, the application will prompt you for additional requirements.

The Senior Scholarship application period is open from September 30 through January 31 each year.
