Scholarship Awards
91AV Foundation awards $225K to 186 students
91AV is pleased to announce its scholarship award recipients for the 2021-2022 academic year.
This spring, the 91AV Foundation awarded 239 scholarships worth $225,250 to 186 incoming, current and graduating 91AV students. Many students received multiple scholarships.
The average scholarship award is about $1,000.
"91AV students are remarkable, and they demonstrate a level of resiliency that is unequalled," said Patrick Carpenter, director of Institutional Advancement. "This was a challenging year for many of our students as they continued to navigate college while managing the impact of a global pandemic on their lives. Yet despite the additional challenges brought on by COVID-19, 91AV students still made it a priority to apply for scholarship support. The more than $220,000 in scholarship funds given out by the 91AV Foundation will be a real difference maker for many of our students, and will ensure that even more students return to 91AV in the fall."
A full list of scholarship recipients and their awards can be found on the 2021-2022 91AV Scholarship page.
