Renewals 

Who May Apply for a Renewal?

• Any student who received any scholarship from the Scholarship Fund may apply for a renewal award.

What Types of Renewal Awards Are Available?

• There are two types of renewal awards: General Fund Awards and Named Scholarship Awards.
• The dollar amount of General Fund Awards is determined each year by the Fund's Board of Trustees (in 2007 it was $2,000). The dollar value of Named Scholarships is determined by each scholarship donor.

For which Renewal Award Am I Eligible?

• If you initially received a General Fund Award (e.g., Scholarship Fund of Alexandria Award), you are eligible to apply for a General Fund Renewal.
• If you initially received one of the 140+ Named Scholarships, you *may* be eligible to apply for a renewal of that scholarship if you still meet the specific criteria *and* your scholarship was awarded for more than one year. If your scholarship was only awarded for a single year, you *may* be eligible to apply instead to the General Fund for a renewal.

What Are the Criteria for Obtaining a General Fund Renewal?

• These awards require a demonstration of financial need. You must complete the online application (available after June 1); complete the FAFSA (and SAR); and send us a transcript that shows you have a 2.0 GPA and are a full-time student; and send us a copy of your college's Financial Award letter.

What Are the Criteria for Obtaining a Named Scholarship Renewal?

Each award has different criteria. Please call (703-824-6730) or e-mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) for your particular situation. At a minimum, the online application and a transcript are required.
