The Alumni Association distributes more than $10,000 annually in scholarships to academically qualified students in financial need. The fund also provides short-term, immediate, interest-free emergency loans to students who have nowhere to go when their student loan funds do not arrive in time for the rent, electrical bill or tuition.
Donations to the Alumni Association also help us host the annual reception at the AAO annual meeting, put on financial planning seminars, "Lunch & Learn" and reunions. For the students, the Association hosts an orientation day for the incoming class and a champagne farewell toast to the graduating class. All gifts to the Alumni Association, a 501 (c)3 organization, are fully tax-deductible.
Please make checks payable to The Alumni Association.
