Alliance for Affordable Services Awards $293,000 In Scholarships

Alliance for Affordable Services Awards $293

This year the Alliance awarded $293,000 in scholarships to 198 outstanding students from across the United States. Since 1996, the Alliance has supported more than 1,200 students with scholarship awards totaling more than $1.9 million.

The Alliance Scholarship Program was created to help Alliance members meet challenges such as rising tuition, lab fees, and expenses for books and equipment. “The Alliance scholarships have never been more important. In today’s economy, families are finding it harder than ever to afford a higher education for their children, explained Alliance President Dr. Paul Pevsner.

The scholarship program, open to dependents of Alliance Members ages 16-28, presents $2,000 awards to first time recipients pursuing their undergraduate degree. Recipients are selected according to academic performance. Recognizing that a college degree takes several years to achieve, the Alliance offers $1,000 scholarship renewals for up to three consecutive years as long as students maintain at least a 3.5 grade point average.

The Alliance for Affordable Services is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping members live better and save more. The Alliance uses the power of the group to negotiate significant savings on a variety of business, lifestyle, and health related benefits for approximately 80,000 members. Applications for the next year’s awards will be available in January 2012.
