Bursary description
Pearson Institute wants to ensure that talented, top-performing students get every opportunity to further their studies. They know that, for many, a fulfilling and rewarding career may feel out of reach. It’s a goal that can only be achieved building on the foundation of a solid education.
Simply put, they don’t want their students to be limited just because of the cost of a good education. That’s why they’re awarding the Pearson scholarship to a new student that enrolls with them.
