Assist-a-Grad grants money to students

The Assist-A-Grad (AAG) scholarship interviews were held over four nights in April from 6 to 9:20 pm.  Over one hundred students from Armijo competed with students from around the county for over $100,000. Students were able to interview for up to three scholarships between Monday, April 10 and Thursday, April 13.

So what is next? A letter will be mailed the first week in May inviting students who are receiving scholarships to participate in the  AAG Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 15 at 7 pm at the Fairfield Community Center (next to the Solano County Library). The AAG Foundation wants an element of surprise, so students will not be told which scholarships they are receiving until the awards ceremony.

While the AAG competition is over, there are still other scholarships available.  Students in all grade levels can go to scholarship.com or fastweb.com and complete a profile.  In addition, students are encouraged to visit the College and Career center for local and national scholarships or look at an updated list of scholarships on The Armijo Signal. Students who have been awarded a scholarship should contact Ms. Sandy Anderson in the Career Center so that they can be recognized at our Seniors Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 24 at 6:30 pm in the gymnasium.
