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
