The foundation awards the Presidential Scholarship to select area high school seniors enrolling at ARCC. Recipients must graduate in the top 20 percent of their class and carry a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0. Students must complete a scholarship application, write essays, submit a letter of recommendation from a counselor or teacher and demonstrate leadership through school and community involvement. Scholarships can be renewed after the student’s freshman year at ARCC if the scholarship recipient has maintained a 3.0 GPA or higher. A freshman Presidential Scholarship award in 2007-2008 is $2,000, which covers approximately 51% of a full-time student’s tuition and fees for one year.
The mission of the foundation is to build friendships and funds to enrich students’ lives. The foundation accepts donations for scholarships and other enrichment projects not provided through regular college funding.
