About AACC scholarship program

The Give Hope Fund is a scholarship program created by the Arab American Community Center (AACC) to support Central Florida students who demonstrate academic potential and financial need.
Administered by the AACC Education Committee, the program helps students access college, graduate programs, and accredited vocational training across Florida.

Through the generosity of community members, businesses, and sponsors, the Give Hope Fund provides one-year scholarships that can help cover tuition, fees, textbooks, and required academic materials.

Together, we’re opening doors to education, opportunity, and a brighter future for students in our community.
