Education is key to success in life. However, each year two million students drop out of college due to financial hardship and a lack of financial assistance. In the United States there are more than 900,000 college-bound students who qualify for federal financial assistance each year. Yet almost 90% of these students don’t receive adequate guidance or support, leaving hundreds of thousands of students’ needs unmet.
The Pizza Hut Foundation is proud to partner with Kaleidoscope as our scholarship platform provider, pairing education dreams with funding. The program period for scholarships is July 8, 2025, at 8 a.m. Central Time, and ends on September 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Scholarship recipients will be notified on or before November 17, 2025. Scholarships of $500 and up to $5,000 in tuition assistance per scholarship are available, award quantity and amount may vary. Scholarships will be distributed to accredited institutions in Spring 2026.
While the Scholarship program financially supports the awarded students enrolled in higher education, it doesn’t stop there. The Pizza Hut Foundation offers a mentorship opportunity, through leaders from within the Pizza Hut organization and Vendor partners, to engage Scholarship recipients in a meaningful way throughout their educational journey.
The Pizza Hut Foundation will support engagements with the students via monthly connections to ensure a positive experience for both the mentors and the mentees.
The bi-annual grant opportunity awards up to $10,000 to public libraries and non-profit organizations that are actively working to improve literacy initiatives in Pizza Hut communities.
The grants are made possible by the generosity of our customers purchase of the BOOK IT! Bundle menu item!
