A Ripple Effect: Scholarships to Generational Change
Our Change Continuum illustrates how a scholarship evolves beyond a college impact to develop the whole person. The investment in people returns far beyond the graduation stage, allowing recipients to take on opportunities, explore passions and give back to others.
Hear from our alumni
"I am profoundly grateful for the invaluable support your Scholarship has provided over my collegiate experience. Studying business analytics, delving into future-of-work business topics and advocating for inclusivity both in and out of the classroom have laid a robust foundation for my career in business. Your belief in me has been a driving force, and I am deeply appreciative of the opportunities your generosity has afforded me. Thank you for investing in my future and empowering me to pursue my passions."

"The Annexstad Family Foundation provided me with a chance to earn a better life. When I thought all the doors were shut, a window leading to higher education and infinitely more opportunities opened, guiding me to a much brighter future."
"The Annexstad Family Foundation has given me the financial freedom to pursue a degree, the mental freedom to focus on my studies and extracurricular involvement and the social freedom to break out of the cycle. You have inspired me to change the lives of others!"
Creating Change for Generations to Come
For over 26 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. AFF alumni take their degrees to make positive in their communities and empower the next generation to trust in themselves to pursue their dreams.
