Panhellenic Scholarships

ALABAMA PANHELLENIC ASSOCIATION NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIP

Alabama Panhellenic Association is pleased to now offer one-time, emergency, scholarships to members. The APA Need-Based Scholarship is awarded to current University of Alabama Panhellenic women who have maintained high academic standards and demonstrated a need for short-term financial assistance.

 Additional Guidelines for Consideration:
The applicant must be an active Panhellenic sorority woman in good standing with her organization, have made significant contributions to the Greek community, and have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. Particular consideration is given to those who demonstrate a true emergency need (ex. family illness or death, natural disaster, etc.), as well as additional avenues pursued for financial assistance (ie. seek out job, other scholarship opportunities, etc.). Please note that APA will not award need-based scholarships either in whole or partially for outstanding dues balances and/or chapter board (living in-house fee).

The scholarship is awarded for various amounts on a case-by-case basis. A student may only receive this award once. The scholarship committee will review standing applications once a month. Applications must be received by the last Monday in the month at 12 pm in order to be reviewed for that month. However, APA is always accepting applications, as they are reviewed monthly, EXCEPT DURING THE SUMMER.

In order to be considered, an application via the link below must be submitted, and a letter outlining the members need and status in the chapter from the chapter’s VP Finance should also be sent directly to uadirectorfinance@gmail.com  AND akwallace4@ua.edu.
