ALGOMA AREA EDUCATION FOUNDATION SPONSORED SCHOLARSHIPS
AAEF Scholarships
Through the collective generosity of businesses, organizations, and individual donors, coupled with dedicated fundraising efforts by the Algoma Area Education Foundation, we are proud to offer four foundation-sponsored scholarships - two scholarships in the Four-Year College and University category and two scholarships in the Career & Technical Scholarship category. Each of these scholarships represents a commitment to the future of our Algoma Area School District students, providing a one-time $2,500 scholarship. This sustained support reflects our community's belief in the enduring value of education and our collective investment in the potential of each student. These scholarships are more than just financial aid; they are a testament to the power of community support in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
Note: If there are no applicants for a specific Algoma Area Education Foundation scholarship (Career and Technical College scholarship or Four-Year College or University Scholarship) the outstanding scholarships will be awarded to additional students in the opposite category.
We would like to thank the Lee W. Metzner Memorial Scholarship for funding the AAEF scholarships this year.
