Scholarships
Each June AVEF awards scholarships to AVHS graduating seniors who have applied to attend a college, university or vocational school. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of GPA, educational and personal goals and quality of the essay submitted with an application. In addition references, awards, work experience, community service, and other criteria are taken into account. The Scholarship Application Form is available below. The Scholarship Selection Criteria form used by the Scholarship Committee to evaluate applicants is also available below. In order to qualify a student's application and all supporting documents and letters must be received by AVEF on or before the deadline listed under the "Important Dates" tab on this web site.
