Alice Francis ALS Scholarship Fund

About this scholarship

The Alice Francis ALS Scholarship Fund helps U.S. students whose immediate family is currently affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or was affected within the preceding six months. The qualifying family member must be a parent, grandparent, or guardian who legally resides or resided in the United States. Applicants also need annual household income below $50,000. School-age candidates must be enrolled full time, while adult candidates must already attend a college or trade school. A candidate cannot be receiving a sports-related scholarship. The sponsor’s current site does not provide a separate web form; its complete application instruction is to email a personal story to imagine@afals.org, so the official scholarship-details page is the most actionable public link. The sponsor does not publish the $1,000 value shown by the discovery directory, a fixed closing date, or a detailed document checklist. Accordingly, this record lists the amount and timing as variable rather than guessing. Students should use the email address on the official page to explain how ALS has affected their family and education and to confirm the current award value, selection timing, and any supporting records the fund wants before sending sensitive information.
