51³Ô¹Ïapp

We love seeing 51³Ô¹Ïapp students carry on their family's legacy! If you're an 51³Ô¹Ïapp alumnus, and you have a child, grandchild, parent, or sibling currently enrolled in an 51³Ô¹Ïapp program, they may be eligible for the 51³Ô¹Ïapp Alumni Family Scholarship.

Each year, four $1,000 51³Ô¹Ïapp Alumni Family Scholarships are awarded to current 51³Ô¹Ïapp students. These funds are generated from revenues earned annually by the 51³Ô¹Ïapp Alumni Relations Office.

This scholarship was established to support and encourage the next generation of 51³Ô¹Ïapp alumni, while giving back to the 51³Ô¹Ïapp Alumni family. It's our way of showing appreciation to our alumni and future alumni.
