AXA Achievement Community Scholarship

This scholarship is for current high school seniors who plan to enroll full-time in an accredited two- or four-year college or university in the United States by fall 2015.

Applicants must be US citizens or legal residents living or claiming residency in one of the 50 US states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. Only the first 10,000 applications will be accepted, so early application is encouraged.
