Local Scholarships

Local Scholarships are presented to senior students during the first week of February of senior year.

Our local scholarships are made possible by the generosity of our community, offering financial support to help AHS graduates pursue their post-secondary goals at colleges, universities, or trade/technical school. Each February, senior students have the opportunity to apply through a streamlined process designed to connect them with these incredible resources. Students will be granted access to the local scholarships through a password-protected portal. They should keep the password confidential and should not share it with anyone. Please contact your child's counselor for any questions.

Other Scholarships

We have included a few websites and files with scholarship resources for your convenience.
