Costs associated with the essential elements of a college education are
increasing substantially each year. To have AAP students confronted with
the burden of not being able to effectively take part in a course
because they could not afford the cost of books is a misfortune we want
to eradicate. Therefore, we have established the Villanova University
AAP Emergency Scholarship Loan Fund . A major portion of this fund will
be comprised of tax deductible contributions. Many of our alumni have
already made donations to develop the base for these emergency
scholarship loans. By supporting this fund, you can help make it a
viable and working asset to the Program. Contributions should be made
payable to Villanova University AAP Fund and sent to Villanova's Office
of Development.
The AAP Advisory Board, staff and students thank you for your
dedication, commitment and support to this valuable program. AAP -- The
Key to Success! |
