SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIPTION
An Out-of-School program is an extension of the regular school day designed to offer enrichment programs for students and to meet the after school needs of working parents. Major benefits of an after school program are a positive, supportive environment for after school enrichment activities that support and enhance a student's learning.
Eleven scholarships will be awarded for 2024 for Fall courses: none $1,000 scholarships and two Honorarium Scholarships for $1,500 each. Equity among the three ACEA board regions will be sought; however, excellence of applicants will take priority over region location.
The award(s) will be given based on availability of funds. Funds will be dispersed through checks written to the college or university where the recipient receiving the scholarship is confirmed as enrolled for Fall 2024 semester. Dispensation of the allocation is not predetermined; however, the scholarship committee recommends the scholarship is used for tuition, books, room, board, ETC.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must be a graduating senior in high school or a college-aged student who will be preparing for a career in education at an academic institution of higher learning in the state of Alabama.
The scholarships will be awarded to individuals who have volunteered or been employed through the after school and/or summer programs in the state of Alabama and plan to make a difference in the future of Alabama education.
SELECTION CRITERIA
A committee appointed by the Alabama Community Education Association (ACEA, Inc) will select scholarship recipients.
