2023 School Sponsors

This year, we were able to grant this award thanks to the following AOM Schools. We hope annual support of this program becomes the norm for ALL 70 AOM Schools. This will enable us to add one special $10,000 award.  This is our goal, and we can only do it with your support! 

These schools are true leaders in supporting much-needed scholarship opportunities for all AOM  students.
