Three students hailing from Selma were among others to receive $1,000 in scholarship money through the Alfa Foundation Scholarship Program.
These were: Elizabeth Adams, a senior at the University of Alabama studying pre-dental/nutrition; Andrew Morris, a freshman at Auburn University studying architecture; and Sarah Thomas of Selma, a freshman at Auburn University studying agribusiness and economics.
“It’s important for young people to get a good education,” said Jimmy Parnell, Alfa Insurance president. “These students represent the future of our state, and I’m glad we can support them through these scholarships.”
According to a press release from Alfa Foundation, scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, participation in school/community activities, honors, work experience and future goals; and is administered through Scholarship America.
