Scholarships and Charities

Since July of 1990, the AACA has been in the business of sponsoring scholarships. At present we have a fully paid endowed scholarship in the amount of $35,000 with Georgia State University - The Marv Gordon Scolarship. We are establishing endowed scholarships for $25,000 each for Clayton College and State University and Georgia Southern University.
