AAPA Scholarships Update

AAPA Scholarships Update

The AAPA is happy to announce an update its scholarship grant program! We have funds available for members who would like to participate more regularly in the bundle, but are unable to do so because of the costs of printing or postage.

Each individual grant application may request up to $20 to defray the costs of participating in the bundle. Grants will be approved based upon the availability of funds. The balance in the scholarship fund currently stands at $400.

If you would like to donate money to go toward additional grants for members, please contact Secretary-Treasurer Ivan Snyder.

Application and Eligibility Requirements

• Applications are restricted to current AAPA members.
• For each $20 requested, we suggest at least one inclusion in the bundle within a 12-month period.
• An individual may make an additional request once the first grant has been used to produce an amateur journal for the bundle.
• These requirements are subject to change, but a notice of any changes to the requirements will be distributed in the official organ, AAPA Alert, or website.
• Please email your application request to President Tommy White at president@aapainfo.org or mail a letter to to the following address:

Tommy White Jr
326 Sterling Cove Rd
Columbia, SC 29229
