The Alton R-IV Public School Foundation has established a "Scholarship Fund". Contributions to this fund will be used to award scholarships during the year they are received. Donors who want to help an AHS student further their education or training may designate their contribution be put in that fund. The number and amount of scholarships awarded each year will be determined by the total amount of the fund accumulated each year. We will get the criteria for selection of recipients to Mrs. Gilliland, the High School Counselor, in the near future so students interested may get that information from her.
