Adams Foundation Scholarship

Name: Adams Foundation Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies

Information And Eligibility:
The Adams Foundation Scholarship is a need-based scholarship designed to support undergraduate students enrolled at Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) who demonstrate both academic promise and financial need. Established through the generosity of the Adams Foundation, this scholarship helps reduce the financial barriers that can prevent students from completing their college education, particularly for those balancing tuition costs, living expenses, and other educational fees.

This scholarship is intended to assist students who are committed to earning a degree at AUM and who have shown steady academic effort despite financial challenges. Funds awarded through the Adams Foundation Scholarship may be applied toward tuition, mandatory fees, books, or other education-related expenses as determined by the university’s financial aid office. By easing financial pressure, the scholarship allows recipients to focus more fully on their coursework, campus involvement, and long-term academic goals.

The Adams Foundation Scholarship supports both incoming freshmen and current undergraduate students, making it a valuable option for students at different stages of their academic journey. Selection is primarily based on demonstrated financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), along with a review of academic performance. While the scholarship does not require an exceptionally high GPA, applicants are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress and show a commitment to completing their degree program.

Preference may be given to students who are residents of Alabama, reflecting the foundation’s interest in supporting educational advancement within the state. However, eligibility is not strictly limited to in-state students, and all qualified AUM undergraduates are encouraged to apply.

Because award amounts vary depending on available funding and the number of qualified applicants, students are encouraged to apply early and ensure all required materials are submitted accurately. The scholarship may be awarded as a one-time grant or renewed in subsequent academic years, provided the student continues to meet eligibility requirements and funding remains available.
