Creating Change for Generations to Come

 For over 25 years, our commitment remains unwavering. AFF supports students whose circumstances may have limited their access to higher education. Annexstad scholars are changemakers who use a college degree to unlock their full potential. The impact of scholarship dollars reverberate into years and opportunities beyond the four years of an undergraduate career.
