Scholarship Opportunities
The Linly Heflin Scholarship Committee receives applications in January each year from Alabama women seeking help with their undergraduate degree at 4-year accredited Alabama colleges and universities. Our scholarships award $4,000 per year for four years or until graduation, whichever comes first. Specific criteria are used in the selection process and students must maintain a minimum G.P.A. to continue receiving the scholarship. The Scholarship Committee reviews all of the applications following the January deadline and determines which of the applicants will be interviewed in the spring. Following the interviews, the Scholarship Committee makes its selection and the scholarship recipients are notified. Further details concerning the scholarships may be found under Scholarship Policies below.
