Besser Foundation scholarship deadline extended

ALPENA, Mich. — The deadline to apply for the Besser Foundation Full-Tuition Scholarship has been extended to Friday, March 27.  Applications must be submitted via mail, fax or email.

Alpena Community College Alpena and Oscoda campus buildings are currently closed to the public and students until further notice in an effort to prevent and contain the spread of the coronavirus. Classes continue to be held remotely for the rest of the semester. 

Because the closing of campus buildings may affect students’ ability to submit scholarship applications by the original deadline–which was March 20, 2020 — an extension has been granted.

 To celebrate their 75-year anniversary, the Besser Foundation announced the gift of education to five students planning to attend Alpena Community College this fall.   One student pursuing an associate degree in the business administration, concrete technology, nursing, and utility technology programs–as well as one student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Systems Technology–will be selected to receive a full-tuition, multi-year scholarship.  Each scholarship will cover tuition, fees, books and supplies, and will be renewable each academic year needed to complete the degree.  

 The scholarships will be administered through the Alpena Community College Foundation.  

 Students interested in applying for this one-time-only scholarship assistance should visit www.alpenacc.edu and navigate to the scholarship page via the Donate—ACC Foundation tab on the top of the homepage to view full scholarship criteria and to print an application.
