The Albany Public Schools Foundation (APSF) is pleased to announce their 2020 scholarship recipients! Thanks to the generosity of donors and community partners, APSF awarded $125,000 in scholarships this year. The recipients, chosen from almost 1,100 applications, were from AOS, SAHS, WAHS, and Albany Online.
In total, there were 69 scholarships awarded from nearly 1,100 applications from GAPS seniors. Five students did not want their names shared, and for those award recipients, we listed the school instead of the students name (i.e SAHS Student).
Please help us congratulate all of the recipients and thank our generous donors and community partners!
