This program is called the Second Chance Scholarship. It is designed for students 26 or under who either, a) decided to delay post high school education or, b) may need some additional support to complete their educational program. The scholarship can be used for college, university or a vocational program. They will be awarded based on previous school experience, personal and educational goals and the quality of the essay submitted with the application. Included with the application, letters of reference will be required. Work experience and community service will also be considered. The Scholarship Application Form is available below. The Scholarship Selection Criteria form used by the Scholarship Committee to evaluate applicants is also available below. In order to qualify a student's application and all supporting documents and letters must be received by AVEF on or before the deadline listed under the "Important Dates" tab on this web site.

You may receive your scholarship in one lump sum, or it may be split into two equal payments. That will depend on your circumstances.
