Scholarship information is now available online at http://www.scholarships911.org for the families of those who died or were permanently disabled in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The "September 11 Scholarship Alliance" (Alliance) launched the website to further simplify the scholarship application process.

Scholarships for postsecondary education are available for victims' dependent children, spouses, or domestic partners. Families of victims are encouraged to register all dependents as soon as possible, whether they are in school now or are just being born.

The website provides a one-stop shop for families seeking information about the Alliance and serves as an information clearinghouse to ensure that financial assistance for postsecondary education gets to those who need it most with minimal paperwork.

The Alliance has adopted a common registration database and scholarship application form that will be used by Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America(SM) (CSFA) to identify those scholarships for which each applicant is eligible. CSFA, the nation's largest administrator of scholarship programs, will also manage the distribution of scholarships to applicants on behalf of most Alliance scholarship providers.

CSFA will provide information annually for approximately the next 25 years to all eligible and registered families to remind them of the ongoing financial support for postsecondary education.

A toll-free phone number, 1-877-862-0136, is also available to initiate the registration process of eligible families without Internet access. 

Alliance members providing scholarship funding include:
  • Children's Aid Society
  • Citigroup Foundation
  • Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America
  • Institute for International Education/USFreightways Corporation
  • International Youth Foundation
  • Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation
  • The Power of America Fund

    Alliance members serving as advisers include:
  • American Jewish World Service
  • Educational Testing Services
  • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
  • Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
  • National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA)
  • New York State Higher Education Services Corporation
  • Pace University
  • Safe Horizon
  • September 11th Fund
  • Silver Shield Foundation
  • Twin Towers Fund
  • United Negro College Fund
