Student Testimonials

“Due to the APCA national scholarship, I will be able to focus on my classes and other extracurricular activities to expand my knowledge base in college, without having to focus on the financial aspect of college as much. The generosity of this scholarship and your support have inspired me to make my own contributions to education in the future, both with the business I hope to start as well as scholarships.”

“I recognize that it is impossible for everyone to receive such aid, and I am so thankful for your support of my higher education. Your generosity has reinvigorated my sense of duty to my community, and I will seek to advance the welfare of others as well. I will continue to contribute in meaningful ways to the collegiate and local communities to which I will soon belong, thanks in part to your award.”

I will use this as a starting point to make a lasting impact on my community and my world; you have already made a lasting impact on my life and it is my dream to one day be in a position where I can do the same for others.
