Scholarships & College Readiness

The Anthony J. Stinson Jr. Association For Change, Inc.

Opening the Door to Higher Education

The Scholarships & College Readiness Program helps graduating seniors take their next step toward success. For many students, the cost of college essentials—books, supplies, housing needs—creates a major barrier. We remove that barrier so students can focus on their future, not their finances.

Every student deserves a fair chance to succeed.

What This Program Provides

College Essentials Scholarships

Each year, we award scholarships to college-bound high school seniors to help cover:

  • Books and learning materials

  • Dorm and housing essentials

  • Technology and school supplies

  • Transportation and other start-up needs

These scholarships ensure students can begin their college journey fully prepared.

College Readiness Support

Beyond financial help, we provide:

  • Guidance for students and parents

  • Encouragement through the college transition

  • Recognition through scholarship presentations

Students feel supported, celebrated, and motivated as they step into higher education.
