CHANGING LIVES THROUGH HIGHER EDUCATION
The Nina Scholars program was established by the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust in 2001 to open doors of opportunity for men and women seeking college degrees who would not normally receive traditional academic scholarships and whose personal commitments and financial circumstances would preclude their attendance without substantial, long-term scholarship support.
