Funding to Establish New Named Scholarships

One of the APTF programs that directly supports the main mission of the foundation is the Named Scholarship Fund. This process allows a donor to establish a fund that provides an annual scholarship to a student studying a career of specific interest to the named scholarship. Below are the most current named scholarships the foundation is seeking to fully fund for the upcoming year.
