The AXA Achievement Community Scholarship is sponsored by the AXA Foundation which is the philanthropic arm of AXA Equitable. More than 300 students, known as AXA Achievers, are selected to receive a $2,000 award.

The application deadline is February 1, 2014, but if 10,000 applications are recieved before that date, the program will automatically close.

To start, students need to register and create an application online. Then they need to prepare the following information to complete the application:

• List of involvement in school and community activities
• List of work experience
• Current high school cumulative grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale
• The details of your outstanding achievement.

Primary consideration will be given to the applicant’s non-academic outstanding achievement as described in the online application essays when selecting finalists. The achievement may be a long-term achievement, an activity or a project that occurred in their school, in the community or in the workplace.

Other extracurricular activities in school and community, work experience, and the applicant's academic record over the past four years will be considered when selecting finalists.

AXA Achievement Community Scholarships must be used for education-related expenses for the first year of undergraduate study and are not renewable.
