Smith Scholarship Program

Scholarship Sponsored by Smith Foundation

Value: $20,000
Awards Available: 15
Deadline : Jan 10, 2025

The Smith Foundation provides financial scholarships annually to deserving Alabama students.  Applications open each Fall, typically in September or October, and close the first week in January.  Applications are announced on the website and every high school in the state receives written and/or phone contact to alert counselors, English teachers, or other school staff.  Follow the instructions located on the Smith Foundation website to obtain the link to the application.

The Smith Foundation awards scholarships that range from $500 to $20,000 for undergraduate studies.  These scholarships are supplemental last-dollar awards in which Smith provides funding after the payment of all other scholarships, aid, or grants (excluding student loans which are prohibited).  Students selected to participate in the Full Scholarship Program receive assistance from Mentors, Internship Coaches, Co-op, professional development guidance, and the opportunity to qualify for Study Abroad Scholarships.  Outstanding students who complete the full program are eligible to apply for graduate and professional scholarships to continue their studies.

The Smith Scholarship Program is a strict accountability program that requires superior academic and leadership participation.  Each university will have a Team with Team Leaders to coordinate assistance and oversee required tutoring, counseling, and cultural event attendance.

Smith scholars must complete required volunteer, and community service and attend Smith-sponsored events and seminars.  Most importantly, Smith Scholars must genuinely desire to give back and help others.

Scholarships are awarded in April for the following Fall and Spring academic year.  Typically, 10 to 15 full scholarships are awarded with additional partial awards provided as well.  Full scholarships are renewable upon completion of renewal application and compliance with Foundation guidelines.

Applicants must have a minimum 2.5 GPA, graduate from an Alabama High School, and demonstrate volunteer and community service while overcoming personal and financial hardships.
