The UASC Foundation is a 501(c)3 public non-profit charity; therefore, donations are tax deductible. Thank you in advance for helping AASD to maintain the Scholarship program!

The AASD Board of Directors is encouraging all Members in Good Standing and Affiliate Members to consider donating via payroll deduction in support of our program.  By clicking the provided link or scanning the QR code below, members can make a donation 10 times a year (August through May) of either $3, $5, $10 or $20 per month via payroll deduction.  Link – AASD Scholarship Payroll Deduction    QR Code – Scholarship Payroll Deduction

Members (active or retired) may make a direct donation by sending a check to the AASD office or calling the office with a debit or credit card information.  Checks should be payable to “UASC Foundation,” and in the memo, write “AASD Scholarship Fund.”

AASD would also like to acknowledge that all dues paid by AASD Retired Members (annually or one-time lifetime) go directly to the AASD Scholarship Fund.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
