Scholarships Awarded for 2015
One of the most exciting times at Alliance is when the scholarship recipients are announced each year. The exceptional scholastic achievements of these students led to their being selected to receive a $2,000 scholarship for their first year and, understanding that achieving an undergraduate degree takes some time, Alliance offers an additional $1,000 renewal scholarship for up to three consecutive years for the students who maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher.
The Alliance Scholarship Program was started in 1996, and this year’s awards of $95,000 to the 75 outstanding selected students raises the bar on total scholarship awards to over $2.6 million, serving more than 1,800 college students over the past nineteen years.
Education remains a top priority for Alliance as evidenced by the Scholarship Program, the Career Education Grant Program for those members who choose a 2-year technical or vocational program over the traditional college campus, and Alliance donations of computers to various schools across America. Alliance also provides free online access to AllianceCollegeGuide.com, a resource site to help students and their parents with information on how to prepare, choose the right school, apply, and pay for college.
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 tens of thousands of members nationwide. Scholarship applications for the 2016 award year may be submitted after January 1.
