Overview

 

Citizens throughout America stepped forward and donated funds to many relief efforts in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America. Scholarship funds were among those established.

The September 11 Scholarship Alliance provides one national source of postsecondary scholarship information for victims’ dependents. Other scholarships have been established locally in memory of a victim. These scholarships, for secondary and postsecondary study, will benefit the named victim’s dependents and/or students in the victim’s community.

The following list of scholarships provides a brief description of the fund and contact information.
