2020 ALLESVA Scholarship Announcement
Academy for Lifetime Learning Offers $1,000 Scholarships

To commemorate the 13th year of its existence, the Academy for Lifetime Learning (A.L.L.) is offering $1,000 scholarships to help graduating students on the Eastern Shore of Virginia continue their educations at a community college or university. Since our nation needs to build its skilled technical workforce, one scholarship requires that the student’s academic goal be in the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics or Medicine (STEMM). A second scholarship is also open to graduates pursuing a two- or four-year RN Nursing Program either at the Eastern Shore Community College or at a four-year college. In addition, a third scholarship this year will be awarded to a graduate who wishes to pursue a four-year degree program in Theatre Arts. All of these scholarships are to be used to defray college expenses.
In honor of the founder of The Academy for Lifetime Learning, who passed away in 2014 and who spent her career in nursing, these scholarships have been named the Betty Ross Academy for Lifetime Learning Scholarship.
The Academy for Lifetime Learning of the Eastern Shore of Virginia is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization. Members share a common interest in continuing learning experiences and intellectual stimulation.
