ABOUT THE WE MAKE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT ACCESSIBLE SCHOLARSHIP

AAA Scholarship

In 2002, a core group of people involved in the Florida School Choice movement came together to form the AAA Scholarship and operate the Florida Tax Scholarship Program.

The scholarship foundation in Georgia that helps students from poor and middle-income households pay for their education.

Two years later, in 2015, scholarships were made accessible to families in Nevada as part of the foundation’s expansion into the state.

Families in Alabama and Pennsylvania are supported by the charity. Families in Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona are eligible for the scholarships.

Over 85 percent of scholarships are provided to students who are at or below 185 percent of the poverty level, according to the AAA Foundation.

 

THE MISSION OF THE AAA SCHOLARSHIPS

The major goal of the “We Make Academic Achievement Accessible Scholarship” was to give educational chances to kids regardless of where they lived or how much money they had to work with.

Parents that want to help their children succeed in school or improve the quality of their education collaborate with the foundation.

In order to get state tax credits, firms donate a portion of their state tax liabilities to the nonprofit scholarship foundation, which is an authorized 501(c)(3).

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE AAA SCHOLARSHIP

States with yearly application requirements include: Alabama; Florida; Georgia; Nevada; Pennsylvania. In Arizona, candidates’ terms are automatically renewed unless the rule is altered.

Applicants will receive notification if the foundation has all the required documentation to decide eligibility.

The application status may be seen online by parents (under the appropriate Scholarship). The whole application procedure might take up to a year to complete.

Let’s say your family qualifies and your child receives school money this year. Scholarship Award Letter and School Commitment Form will be sent to you in this situation. The foundation will send you a letter of refusal if you are not eligible.
