Alvin 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 72
scholarship awards to students in six countries. Current Scholarship F or the 2010 spring competition we are offering 12 individual scholarships, each worth $750 USD. Several smaller awards will also be issued. This number is determined by the number of applications received. To be eligible for the scholarship you must have plans to be enrolled in college (minimum of 3 hours / one class) during the spring semester of 2010. High school students who will be enrolled in dual credit courses are eligible to apply.
Your reason for deciding to attend college - please discuss any factors that influenced your decision to pursue a college degree. You may discuss any people who affected your decision making process and explain how your decision may have been different without their influence.
