ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½

We love to see ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ students following in their family member's footsteps. If you're an ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ alumnus, and you have a family member (child, grandchild, or parent of an alum) currently enrolled in an ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ program, they are eligible to apply for the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Alumni Family Scholarship.

This Scholarship has been established to support and encourage the next wave of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ alumni members while giving back to the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Alumni family. We are pleased to award four scholarships annually to family members of past ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ graduates.

Four $1,000 ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Alumni Family Scholarships will be awarded to current ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Students each year.

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Alumni provides these Scholarships as a benefit and a gesture of appreciation to our alumni and future alumni.
