Lisa came to Pitzer College from Seattle, Washington because she felt that

“Pitzer’s goals and core values paralleled mine and the environment would

challenge me and cultivate my ideas and dreams…There is not a day that goes by

that I don’t think about how fortunate I am to be a part of this community.”

Lisa Hirata ’16, Environmental Analysis major

Amanda Crosby ’97 Endowed Scholarship

“I wanted to attend a college that could offer me a rigorous education

along with a social and environmental consciousness.”

Brendan Nwankwo ’16, English and Anthropology major

Fletcher Jones Foundation Endowed Scholarship

“I want to express my gratitude for the acceptance, as well as thank you once more

for the generous financial aid I have received…Thank you for all of your assistance,

and I hope to someday be able to thank you properly, face-to-face, if ever possible.”

Jordan Hollinger ’19, International Studies major

Academic Achievement Endowed Merit Scholarship
