The Board of Directors of the Association of Graduates (AOG) is pleased to offer Graduate Dependent Scholarships for the 2018-2019 academic year. Graduate Dependent Scholarships are annual awards. Scholarships are intended to directly support post-secondary education for the children of AOG graduate members.

These are $500 scholarships. The total amount available for scholarships is determined annually by the Board of Directors. The award is paid directly to award winners only upon verification of acceptance into or enrollment in an accredited institution.

Scholarship award winners as well as those applicants not selected to receive a scholarship in each year, are encouraged to re-apply for scholarships in subsequent years if they are still eligible.
