About the Alumni Advancement Fund & Micro-Grant
In 2023, the Argosy Collegiate Charter School (ACCS) Foundation created the ACCS Alumni Advancement Fund to support ACCS’s alumni in their efforts to transform their lives through higher education and the attainment of a degree. It is the vision of the ACCS Foundation that Argosy’s alumni are not impeded by financial disadvantages in their post secondary pursuits. The micro-grant provides an opportunity for alumni to secure funds to support that effort when and where traditional financial aid, scholarships, grants, and their own resources don’t cover the need.
Who may apply?
Alumni from Argosy Collegiate Charter School who are in the process of pursuing a college degree as an undergraduate are eligible to apply. Additionally, Argosy seniors may also apply upon acceptance and commitment to a college or university.
Use of funds
Awards must be used by the alumni in pursuit of an undergraduate degree. Funds may be applied to the purchase of a course, fees, supplies, textbooks/virtual books, or other expenses including financial hardships so long as the applicant provides his/her/their rationale and documentation that justifies the expense and payment.
How often can an applicant apply?
Funds are limited. Applicants may apply once per academic year. In extraordinary circumstances or if funds are not fully expended, a second application in an academic year will be considered. Priority may be given to alumni who have not received previous funding and those experiencing a hardship.
The spring ’25 micro grant deadline is Friday, February 7, 2025.
