TiER1 SCHOLARSHIPS

TiER1 offers a limited number of needs-based scholarships to students who participate in our internship program. Details are described below.

Purpose

To achieve our mission, we seek to attract high performing consultants of varied backgrounds, creating a diverse, inclusive, and highly collaborative culture. TiER1 wants to create more space for students who experience socioeconomic challenges and could benefit from tuition and/or internship housing/transportation assistance. While TiER1 internships are open to everyone, our scholarships are intended for students who accept an internship with TiER1 Performance and who face serious financial hardship. TiER1 will offer a limited number of $2,500 scholarships that can be applied toward the student's tuition and/or housing/transportation during their TiER1 internship.

Scholarship Eligibility

In order to be considered for a scholarship, candidates must:

• Be legally authorized to work in the U.S. indefinitely,
• Read our scholarship statement and confirm they are experiencing financial hardship that threatens their education or internship opportunity,
• Submit a statement of how the financial assistance will be used and will help.

Timeline and Other Details
Scholarships are considered and communicated at the same time as internship opportunities. In other words, if you are awarded a scholarship this will be explained in an internship offer letter. Compensation for the internship is in addition to the $2,500 award.
