The AEF Community Scholarships Application is open to all prospective students who are eligible to enroll in our semester and summer programs.
Students may not receive more than one scholarship in an academic year.
Disbursement of the scholarship funding is dependent upon participation in an AEF program.
Students may defer their scholarship award to any qualifying AEF program that starts within 12 months of the start date of the program they originally planned to attend.
For example, an awardee for a Spring semester can use the funding for the following Spring semester but not the subsequent Summer program.
