Have you overcome obstacles? Do you juggle multiple responsibilities and still manage to enrich your school community? Do you have a genuine love of learning and solid plans for the future? The AXA Achievement Scholarship is worth a second look. Here is what the web site says…
Our scholarships winners are known as AXA Achievers. They are ethnically and economically diverse, but they share these qualities:
- Ambition and drive
- Determination to set and reach goals
- Respect for self, family and community
- Ability to succeed in college
Some of the remarkable accomplishments of our AXA Achievers include: setting up a food bank in their community; designing a curriculum to get kids interested in science; founding a nonprofit organization for young people that encourages community service and civic involvement.
