Our Mission
In honor of John T. Petters, the Foundation “prepares motivated students in financial need for success in a global world”.
Today’s marketplace is reaching to people all over our world. More and more students are realizing the importance of looking outside the United States to understand the true global nature of business. It is essential, in order to understand the needs and wants of other countries, to at first understand their culture and beliefs. The best way to accomplish this is by traveling to different countries and gaining a first-hand perspective of its people. The John T. Petters Foundation understands this goal and works to achieve it by providing financial assistance through scholarships to deserving and ambitious students.
