Arkansas High School Scholarship

AN INTRODUCTION

AAD historically has made funds available to the Arkansas School for the Deaf to add to a pool of funds that would be awarded to students at the time of graduation. These students are selected by a committee that is chosen by ASD and evaluated by a set of criteria established by ASD.

For the past two years AAD has taken a more active role in the selection of the recipient that would receive a scholarship directly from AAD, rather than pooling the funds in with other monies. This would allow for AAD to take a more proactive role in fundraising activities that would target scholarships for graduating seniors and possibly build on the number of awards to be given.

With this goal in mind, the AAD High School Scholarship Program is designed to assist high school students who are deaf or hard of hearing obtain a degree from an accredited U.S. postsecondary institution. In order to be eligible for the program, applicants must:

• Be a graduating high school senior of the current year applying
• Be deaf or hard of hearing
• Have a minimum cumulative weighted GPA of 2.75 on a scale of 4.0
