ALPFA will best accommodate sponsor preferences based on availability of applicants.
Scholarships awarded will go directly to University to avoid the issue of students using the funds for non-educationalexpenses.
The ALPFA Scholarship Program is a program administered by and through the ALPFA Foundation. Contributions are taxdeductible, as permitted under the IRS 501 c-3 section rules.
