The HCPSS Academy of Finance (AOF) introduces students to career opportunities in the business and financial services industries and, in the process, equips them to make sound postsecondary and career choices.

The AOF Scholarship Program was established to encourage students and help make their postsecondary education more financially accessible. Students who have successfully completed the Academy program, including all high school coursework, and demonstrated outstanding engagement and performance will be eligible to receive scholarship awards of up to $1,000.

We would welcome your support for AOF students! Donations can be made here or by sending a check to Bright Minds Foundation, 10920 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21042. Bright Minds Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, is the education foundation of the Howard County Public School System. All donations will be gratefully acknowledged. Thank you for also emailing hina_naseem@hcpss.org to inform her of the AOF scholarship donation.

Thank you for your support for Howard County students!
