We
are inviting High School Seniors who are an ALSA member
to apply for one of two scholarships from the ALSA
Youth Scholarship Fund. These scholarships will be
awarded in May and recognized again at the ALSA Grand National Championship Show held
each October. If you are interested in applying, please
fill in the application form and give responses to all the
questions on a separate sheet of paper. You need to
pay close attention to the requirements and directions for
this scholarship. The application must be postmarked
no later than March 15th of this year.
Please Become
A Sponsor
See what your small donation does for
our youth!
As many of you may
already know, this scholarship is funded by donations.
ALSA gives out two scholarships every
year to two ALSA youth members.
As time goes on, donations
are unfortunately declining. We need to receive donations
annually from you, the llama community, if this is going
to be an ongoing award. Otherwise we will not be able
to continue with this valuable program.
We encourage
you to become a sponsor of this program this year.
Please email the ALSA office for information on how to make
a donation to this program. All donations, regardless
of size, are greatly appreciated.
