Asian/Pacific American Association for Advancement at AT&T
2005 4A-AT&T NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
APPLICANT INFORMATION
The Asian/Pacific American Association for Advancement (4A) at AT&T has developed the 2005 4A-AT&T National Scholarship Program as a way to reach back into local communities to financially assist distinguished college students in continuing their higher education. The 4A National Scholarship Program will issue scholarship grants to qualified applicants who are selected primarily for their individual merit. Eligibility requirements will be used to initially screen applications prior to the actual review process. All third year college juniors currently enrolled full-time in an accredited undergraduate program in the United States are eligible to apply.[(] Candidates must be US Citizens or Permanent Residents.
After the initial screening process, the remaining eligible applicants will be evaluated based on their scholastic discipline, personal achievement, community involvement and contribution to the Asian/Pacific American community. Scholarship winners will be selected collectively by the 4A National Scholarship Committee based on a uniform, weighted point average system.
We will select three winners from the eligible applications postmarked by April 29, 2005. Each winner will receive $2,000 in award money to be used towards his or her higher education. The scholarship winners will be limited to one recipient per university.
Please complete the attached application and mail it along with a letter of recommendation addressed to you in a sealed envelope to the 4A-AT&T Scholarship Committee Member listed for that state in which your university resides. Please request your university to mail a copy of your college transcript to the same address. The application must be postmarked by April 29, 2005. Winners will be announced in July 2005.
