New* households and students: Unfortunately, we will not be accepting applications for new students.

*New means you did not receive a scholarship in 2024-25 for any student in your home.

**Renewing means the student was actively using an AAA scholarship through the end of the 24-25 school year. Waitlisted means the student was found eligible for a 24-25 scholarship but funding was not available AND the student remained on the waitlist through the end of the 24-25 school year. Add-on sibling means you received AAA scholarship payments for another student in your home in 2024-25, but not for this student.
