Alvin James Cox Memorial Scholarship
The Alvin J. Cox
memorial fund was established in 2006 to provide financial assistance to
those attending a college or university. Alvin Cox spent more than
40 years as a public school teacher and advisor to students going
through the college admissions process. Mr. Cox dedicated a large
portion of his career to finding financial assistance for those who
were unable to afford college tuition (please
follow this link for more information on Mr. Alvin Cox). After
his passing in 2006 his family decided to continue on with Mr. Cox's
mission through the creation of the Alvin J. Cox Memorial
Scholarship. Since 2006 we've awarded 53
scholarship awards to students in six countries. Update: 06/20/2009 We've spent the majority of this month reading essays, watching videos, viewing pictures and admiring works of art. I'm proud to announce that we've selected 19 students who will receive various degrees of scholarship assistance, with several receiving our max of $1,000 USD. All of the recipients have responded to their emails and will have their awards in hand before the end of the month. Also, we're in the process of working out the details of our next scholarship offering which should come within the next two weeks! Current Scholarship At this time we’re not accepting scholarship applications. We’re currently in the process of reviewing the applications and essays received for our spring scholarship that closed on 05/31/2009. The scholarship recipients will be contacted prior to 06/15/2009. Please do not write to ask if you’ve been selected to receive a scholarship. We will notify all applicants who are selected. All others are welcome to apply for our next scholarship which will be announced prior to 07/01/2009. You may sign up below to receive email notification when the scholarship is posted. Until then our family would like to thank you all for the wonderful essays, pictures and videos. Unfortunately we’re only able to offer scholarship assistance to a small number of those who submitted applications. Please continue to utilize the scholarship databases offered through scholarships.com, fastweb.com, or any others you may find.
Wishing you all the best of luck,
