Association seeks applicants

The Alliance College Alumni Association is announcing a call for applicants for its foundation’s $1500 scholarship. Opened in 1912 by the Polish National Alliance, the largest Polish American fraternal insurance organization, Cambridge Springs-based Alliance College operated for 75 years as the crown jewel of higher learning for American Poles. Its mission was to offer immigrant children advanced educations during a time of discrimination while encouraging the study of Polish language and Polish culture in America. In 1988, the school was closed and sold to the state of Pennsylvania to be used as a prison. In 2001, the alumni, faculty, and staff of all of it programs came together to create the Alumni Association as a means of hosting reunions, renewing acquaintances, sharing memories and through this scholarship, encouraging post-secondary education. Applications are available to fill out online or to download at www.alliancecollege.com and must be submitted no later than Aug. 15.
