American Savings Foundation

Renewal Applications for 2009-2010 is now online and is due June 30, 2009.

REMEMBER to get Letter of Recommendation before you leave school in the spring! It must be from a professor, academic advisor, student group advisor, or other individual at your college who can tell us about your academic and/or community service accomplishments. Please ask the reviewer to refer to you by your college student ID number. The recommendation must be in a sealed envelope, signed across the seal by the professor, and submitted with the other required application materials. You do not need a special recommendation form.

If you are a current freshman who was awarded a 2-year scholarship in 2008, you are not required to fill out the entire renewal application. However, you are required to send us enrollment and financial information. All current recipients will receive a postcard in mid-April to clarify which procedures to follow. If you are not certain, please call Maria Falvo at 860.827.2572.

Spring Semester Payments

If your award is scheduled to be paid in two installments, it is your responsibility to supply proof of your continued matriculation at your college or university. You must mail us: 1) Your fall 2008 grade report and 2) enrollment verification (spring semester bill or course schedule) for spring 2009.

Printouts from your school website will be accepted.

If we do not receive confirmation of your continued enrollment by April 1, 2009, the second installment of your scholarship may be withdrawn. If you have changed schools in the second semester resulting in a substantial change in financial need, the amount of the second installment may be adjusted accordingly. If you have any questions about your scholarship award, or if there have been any changes in your enrollment status, please call Maria Falvo at (860) 827-2572.

Summer Internships

The ASF Scholars summer internship program will be suspended in 2009 so that we can award as many new and renewal scholarships as possible. We hope to bring this program back in the future.
