Scholarship America played a major role in the creation of the September 11 Scholarship Alliance, formed by leading scholarship providers and associated organizations to coordinate the various scholarship funds for post-secondary education created in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy. 

The Scholarship Alliance simplified the scholarship application process for the families of victims and served as an information clearinghouse to help ensure that financial assistance for post-secondary education got into the hands of those who needed it most, with minimal paperwork and frustration.

Although the Scholarship Alliance is no longer in existence, there are still a number of scholarship funds in addition to the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund that provide assistance for post-secondary education for 9/11 families. Start your search here, in any of the following categories:

Memorial Funds and Other Funds: These are scholarship funds managed and administered by Scholarship America. Generally speaking, Memorial Funds are provided for a group of families associated with a specific funder, while Other Funds are open to all 9/11 families.

College Funds: These are scholarship funds managed by individual colleges and universities, for use on their campuses only.

Outside Organization Funds: These are scholarship funds managed by organizations other than Scholarship America.
