Walker College Foundation Scholarship Program
Walker College Foundation provides scholarships for students around Walker County who want to attend college. The majority of our scholarships are for students attending Bevill State Community College. We provide two-year scholarships to approximately 50 students each year to help them earn a two-year associate degree. These students may plan to transfer to a four-year college or may be pursuing a two-year technical education degree or nursing career. Students who graduate from our program with an associate degree and enroll in a four-year college to complete a bachelor’s degree are also provided a small transfer scholarship to help with their transition. In addition to these two-year scholarships, several of our scholarship funds are intended for students who are going directly to a four-year college from high school. We want to see our community thrive and believe education has the power to pull people out of poverty and into safer, healthier, more prosperous lives.
