The Foundation provides resources for educational success of ACS students. One of the primary ways the Foundation helps students is by awarding scholarships to graduating AHS seniors to pursue their college education.  Over $100,000 in annual and endowed scholarships are funded by donors in the community.  If you are interested in learning more about funding a scholarship, please contact us.  We have more worthy students apply each year than we are able to help.

Student scholarship renewals for 2010: Please send college transcripts, contact info (email, phone, address of financial aid office of college) and donor thank you letter to terri.wells@asheville.k12.nc.us.

The Foundation Scholarship Committee often looks at school and community participation when evaluating an applicant. If you are interested in finding opportunities for community service, you can look at the Hands On Network, an agency dedicated to connecting volunteers with volunteer opportunities.
