Scholarship Timeline Receiving the ALPFA National Scholarship was truly ablessing for me. It provided me with great networkingopportunities, but it also gave me the financial resourcesthat the son of maintenance man desperately needed. Itwas at convention that I met the company (Wells Fargo)who gave me my internship after my junior year, and who Iwill be beginning my career with this July.

Key Facts

An independent committee will review qualifications for each scholarship (additional requirements provided by partners) and determine winners of each scholarship. (In order to maintain independent review, partners cannot review applications.)

ALPFA will best accommodate sponsor preferences based on availability of applicants.

Scholarships awarded will go directly to University to avoid the issue of students using the funds for non-educationalexpenses.

The ALPFA Scholarship Program is a program administered by and through the ALPFA Foundation. Contributions are taxdeductible, as permitted under the IRS 501 c-3 section rules.
