Alabama Power Scholarship

Name: Alabama Power Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies (typically around $2,000 per year)

Information And Eligibility:
The Alabama Power Scholarship is an institutionally supported award created to assist students attending Auburn University at Montgomery who demonstrate both academic achievement and financial need. Funded by Alabama Power, one of the state’s largest and most influential utility providers, this scholarship reflects a long-standing commitment to education, workforce development, and community investment across Alabama. The program is designed to help reduce the cost of college while supporting students who show promise and dedication to completing their degree.

This scholarship is open to both incoming and currently enrolled undergraduate students at Auburn University at Montgomery. Eligible applicants must be residents of Alabama and enrolled full time at AUM. The award is intended to support students who are actively working toward their academic goals while managing financial challenges associated with tuition, fees, textbooks, and other education-related expenses.

Selection for the Alabama Power Scholarship is based on a combination of academic performance and demonstrated financial need. Applicants must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and remain in good academic standing. Financial need is typically assessed through completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or other financial documentation required by the university. Students who balance coursework with employment, family responsibilities, or campus involvement are encouraged to apply, as the scholarship aims to support persistence and degree completion.

Scholarship funds may be applied toward tuition, mandatory fees, textbooks, and other allowable educational costs. While award amounts vary depending on available funding and the number of qualified applicants, recipients often receive approximately $2,000 per academic year. In some cases, the scholarship may be renewable, provided the student continues to meet eligibility requirements, maintains full-time enrollment, and demonstrates satisfactory academic progress.

Beyond financial assistance, receiving the Alabama Power Scholarship serves as recognition of a student’s academic effort and potential. Being selected for a scholarship supported by a major Alabama employer can strengthen a student’s academic profile and résumé, particularly for those pursuing careers in business, engineering, technology, public service, or other fields connected to Alabama’s workforce needs.

The Alabama Power Scholarship aligns with broader efforts to expand access to higher education for Alabama residents and to invest in students who will contribute to the state’s economic and civic future. By easing financial barriers, the scholarship allows students to focus more fully on their studies, graduate on time, and prepare for professional success.
