2007 ACC
Scholarship Application Now Available
|
|
|
 ACC’s Scholarship Award Program financially assists graduating high
school students as they pursue their education. Scholarships are based on academic
excellence and financial need. Applicants must be a high school senior of
Arab/Chaldean descent, who has been accepted to college, with a GPA of 3.0 or
higher, and has demonstrated extracurricular/volunteer activities.
The
financial need of students is substantial and the need for scholarships is
great. Scholarships help attract and retain intelligent and capable, but
financially disadvantaged students. Without support, many students are
challenged to balance the time commitment to their studies with the
responsibilities of personal and in many cases, family needs.
