The Organization
AESF is a non-profit public charity incorporated in October 2004 in order to help students afford a college education by providing educational scholarships. AESF has been granted 501c3 non-profit status. This allows for receipt of tax-deductible contributions. In order to be responsive to the ever-growing need of students for financial help, AESF pursues long-term solutions for endowing the organization. Based in Southeastern Virginia, and metropolitan Atlanta, the organization was established and is directed and advised by a consortium of professional managers, community organizers, and educators.
AESF has a long history of contributing to educational organizations and mentoring young people. As the demand for assistance increased, a more systematic approach was needed to adequately reduce the financial barriers for students. Thus, AESF’s new mission and organization was born.
