All for Humanity Alliance Student Scholarship Program
Understanding the Human Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Problem

In partnership with AuthenticID, a leading fraud prevention and identity verification platform that has committed its technology and significant resources to address and help end human trafficking, Pepperdine University has joined the cause by calling upon students to raise awareness of the critical issue with a scholarship opportunity.
