The AAST Foundation awards scholarships to children of AAST members. Below is a clear, teacher-style checklist to help you prepare and submit a complete application.

What is and isn’t accepted
- Faxed applications are not accepted.
- Official, original transcripts are accepted.
- Official internet transcripts are accepted only if they are sent directly to AAST from the college or university.

Reasons a scholarship may be denied
- Scholarships may be denied for just cause, including but not limited to:
- Grade point average dropping below the required average,
- Dropping out of school,
- Failing to meet or comply with Foundation requirements.

Ownership and publication
- Applications, essays, photos, acceptance letters, and transcripts become the property of the AASTF.
- These materials may be published to promote the scholarship program (for example, on the Association’s website or in the Foundation’s Annual Report).

Award conditions
