3. Scholarship Donation
Make an investment in our children's future. Each year the AAHRC awards scholarships to local high-school seniors to aid in their quest to attend college. Students are required to submit applications that include their transcript, test scores, recommendations, and an original essay. The minimum scholarship donation accepted is $500 and an additional $50 fee is added per scholarship to help offset the administrative costs.
4. Event Sponsorship Donation
Make a Donation. Each year the AARHC promotes numerous events in the community, many admission-free and others to raise money for our annual scholarship fund. Consider underwriting the cost of one of our programs - the Youth Pow-Wow, the MLK Awards Banquet, the Talent Show, the Turkey Give-a-Way, the Community Clean-ups, the Parent Forum, or more.
