Peirce College is committed to making higher education accessible and affordable through innovative programs — like credit for prior learning and test out — flexible transfer policies, and tuition discount partnerships. 

Peirce also makes higher education accessible and attainable by helping its students fund their degrees through a robust menu of scholarship options and support. 

To this end, the college dedicates significant time to helping students find and apply for scholarships, such as the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia’s Paradigm Scholarship for Working Women. 

Two Peirce students were recently awarded the 2024 Paradigm Scholarship for Working Women scholarship recipients:

• Jennifer LeBold – Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
• Princess Torres – Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with a Human Services Leadership Track

The Paradigm Scholarship for Working Women is a merit-based scholarship awarded annually to local women employed by Chamber member companies, who are completing their undergraduate degree. Each applicant must be a woman working up to 30 or more hours, who have completed at least a full year of college and is currently enrolled, and who has a minimum of five years of work experience. 

The scholarship awards up to $5,000 to be used for course-related expenses such as tuition, books, supplies, and equipment.

LeBold and Torres are just the latest Peirce students to have been honored with this scholarship. They were honored during the 2024 Paradigm Awards luncheon on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
