Financial Aid, Scholarships & Grants
.png)
Because education is the underpinning for success in every endeavor, in 2011 the Shoals community banded together to give every student in the Shoals (Colbert & Lauderdale counties in NW Alabama) the opportunity to continue education beyond high school.
You must be a U.S. Citizen
You must have a 2.5 GPA or higher through high school
You must have a 98% attendance rate through high school
You must have no behavioral issues throughout high school
To make this possible, the community works to raise almost $800,000 a year to fund the community scholarship fund. It’s a challenge to the community and a challenge to the student, but it’s a challenge that has great rewards.
Whether you are a student, a parent, or simply a member of the Shoals community, participation in this program will provide a lifetime of rewards.
