Saturday, June 7, 2014, the American Lebanese Awareness Association held its 31st Scholarship Awards where it awarded $36,000.00 to 31 scholars. It was a special night for the ALAA community as it reached over a MILLION dollars in awards to further the education of students of Lebanese descent. This milestone was reached through the generosity of the many donors and contributors of the ALAA community who believe in the opportunities education provides. We join all the scholarship recipients in thanking them for their generosity and community spirit.
Congratulations to the ALAA Class of 2014. We wish you well in your studies.
