Scholarships
Change Starts Here
Pi Iota Education Foundation has worked with parents, teachers and counselors to empower and support our youth in the Tampa Bay Community.
​
This support is provided through education, events, cultural activities and scholarships. We believe that education is the key to building bright futures, strong families and even stronger communities.
​
The Foundation provides annual scholarships and comprehensive youth enrichment programs focused on education, character, and leadership development.
​
The Foundation executes its own revenue generating events and initiatives to support Foundation programs and scholarship grants.
We proudly serve more than 200 youth each year.
