Last Call: Apply Now for the Birmingham Promise Scholarship Before May 1!

Birmingham City Schools seniors must finalize their Birmingham Promise scholarship applications by May 1 to secure the chance for tuition-free college education. This initiative offers funding for up to four years at public Alabama institutions, having already disbursed over $11 million to more than 1,600 graduates. “We don’t want any Birmingham graduate to miss this chance,” remarked executive director Samantha Williams. She emphasized the necessity of applying and encouraged families to begin early. Additionally, students must complete the FAFSA, a process that has recently evolved, presenting some challenges.
