• Overall GPA of 3.0 (B average) or better

• Intends to pursue a bachelor’s degree at a four year accredited university or college on a full-time basis

Submission Requirements

To apply for a scholarship award, the following must be submitted to the AEA Scholarship Committee for review:

1. Scholarship application form

2. Essay personally written by the applicant. The essay topic is specified on the application form.  If the essay submitted is irrelevant to the topic, the application will be disqualified.

3. Official transcript from the applicant’s school (may be sent separately from the school)
   The transcript must bear the school’s official seal.

4.  A letter of recommendation from applicant’s current high school instructor or counselor. (may be sent separately from the author)

Selection Criteria

The following will be considered when reviewing the applications:

• Originality, personal vision, relevance and responsiveness to essay topics

• Applicant’s potential for academic achievement

• Applicant’s potential impact on the community, both immediate and long-term

The AEA Scholarship Committee will review the applications and determine the number of scholarships to award.  The top three candidates for the highest awards, $5,000 being the highest, will be invited to a personal interview during the week of May 13.  The selected applicants will be notified of the time and place of their individual interview.  Participation at this interview is mandatory.  

PLEASE NOTE: Distributions of scholarship funds are made after the Committee receives the awardees’ certificate of enrollment from their four year post-secondary educational institution.    

The Scholarship awardees will be recognized at an event sponsored by the AEA in early June.
