Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama
We have more than 45 scholarship funds with awards ranging from $500.00 annually to four-year awards totaling up to $32,000.
Where can I find scholarship information?
Visit the Scholarship section at cfnea.org. Each Foundation Scholarship Fund has guidelines and an application which are available on our website, along with national, state, and local links to universities and other helpful links. Applications are due on March 1 of each year, with reviews and awards finalized in April.
How does the Community Foundation select scholarship recipients?
The Foundation uses trustees, area residents with special expertise, and staff to review grant applications online. All grants and scholarships have a numeric ranking process to foster impartiality and fairness, which includes statistical analysis to screen outlying scores. These representatives are members of the Scholarship Committee, who make written recommendations to the Board of Trustees. Ultimately, the Board must allocate dollars and make final distributions based on available funds.
