The economy is slumping. College tuition costs are rising. And families are caught in the squeeze, tightening their financial belts in an effort to give their kids the advantage of a higher education.
To help relieve some of the financial hardship, this year the Alliance awarded a total of $288,000 to 201 dependents of Alliance Members.
Scholarship recipients receive up to $5,000 over four consecutive years. Since its inception, the Alliance has assisted hundreds of students with more than $1.4 million in scholarship awards.
“The Alliance scholarships have never been more important,” says association President Dr. Paul Pevsner. “A college education is one key to establishing a career in these tough times. But, families are finding it harder and harder to afford a higher education for their children. The Alliance is pleased it can help these students achieve their dreams.”
In addition to scholarships, the Alliance offers a free online College Preparation Handbook. The easy-to-use handbook guides students in preparing for college, finding the right school and paying for their education.
Congratulations to all of the Alliance Scholarship Award Recipients.
