Foundation Announces Scholarship Program

Dr. Kinslow with recipients and mentors

The ACC Foundation announces a new unique scholarship program that provides students with more than just money to pay for college – with mentors.

The 2007 Assistance League/Silverton Scholars Program is a collaboration between Assistance League of Austin (ALA) and the Silverton Foundation. The program provides ten $2,000 scholarships to students majoring in workforce or career programs, such as Nursing and Culinary Arts.

Assistance League first initiated the mentor component with its ALA Occupational/Technical Scholarship, partnering with the ACC Foundation in 1998. To date, 74 scholarships have been awarded.

“ACC values the commitment and support the Assistance League of Austin has provided our students since 1998,” said Dr. Stephen B. Kinslow, ACC District president/CEO. “Knowing the Silverton Foundation’s commitment to education, we are pleased they chose to partner with the Assistance League of Austin this year to create a new scholarships program that will benefit ACC students.”
