To students interested in an Insurance scholarship:

If you are an undergraduate student who has a GPA of 3.0 or better, you may be eligible for an Insurance scholarship. Scholarships are generous, paying as much as $1,000 per semester for each semester after you qualify.

6. Sign and return acceptance form to Sheila Eady

7. Write personal thank-you note to donor

The amount of each scholarship award is determined by judgment and reflects several factors including:

1. Demonstrated academic aptitude of the student

2. Financial need

3. Membership in the Alabama Insurance Society

Applications for all CBA scholarships are available online at www.scholarships.ua.edu. Applications should be returned to the CBA Student Services Office in 10 Bidgood since students can also be considered for any other College-wide scholarships that they may be qualified for. Students should mark on the application that they are interested in the Finance or Insurance area.

If you believe that you qualify for a scholarship but would like to know more before applying, please contact Dr. William H. Rabel, John & Mary Louise Loftis Endowed Teaching Professor in Insurance & Financial Services, wrabel@cba.ua.edu.
