Enrollment proof needed for scholarship

New and ongoing recipients of Albany ISD Education Foundation scholarships need to provide proof of enrollment in order to receive their benefit for the fall 2018 semester.

“As far as I know, we don’t currently have a specific deadline date set this year,” said secondary campus principal Edward Morales. “But in the past, the students have sent their proof of enrollment to us as soon as possible, so we could release their scholarship funds to them.”

New 2018 graduate recipients need proof of enrollment and the letter that was in the scholarship envelope they received graduation night.

This is the ninth year for the Foundation scholarships, with an additional $38,000 in awards given this spring.

Funds come from the Albany ISD Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, to which anyone may donate. The main source of funding has been proceeds from a 10-year agreement with the wind farms within the school district, but those agreements will be expiring soon.

The scholarships have been presented to a total of 230 Albany High School graduates over the past nine years, some of them receiving the awards for multiple years, provided they are full-time students in an eligible institution.
