New Scholarship to Support Wellsville Area Homeschoolers

New York and Pennsylvania students who will (or have) pursue their high school studies through the Wellsville Area Homeschoolers (WAH) organization may benefit from a new scholarship established with the Allegany County Area Foundation (ACAF).
Funded by an anonymous donor, the Wellsville Area Homeschoolers scholarship will annually assist up to five students pursuing a two- or four-year degree, or a trade or technical credential. College-bound seniors and current college students that complete at least 50% of their secondary school program as a part of the WAH Group may apply through the ACAF website (scholarships tab). Contact the Foundation’s executive director Bruce Campbell at director@acafny.org or 585-296-5616 with questions.
The ACAF scholarship application deadline is February 3rd.  The initial recipients will be chosen this spring for 2020-2021 school year awards.
Academics, financial need and community involvement will the primary scholarship criteria. Students may re-apply for the scholarship through completion of a bachelor’s degree.
With $10.5M in assets, ACAF manages a variety of funds and welcomes gifts, which are tax-deductible, including memorials for friends and loved ones. Interested in establishing a scholarship or community grant fund? If so, contact the Foundation at 585-296-5616 or director@acafny.org.
