Need help searching for scholarships?
Each and every month, the SFA sends an enewsletter to inform families about upcoming local and national scholarship opportunities in addition to the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria. Many of the scholarships in each month’s email have been won by ACHS students in previous years. Dozens upon dozens of vital resources and tips are included to help students and family be more strategic in college and career choices and capture as much financial aid as possible. This enewsletter will be sent to your student inbox at the beginning of each month.
