Fostering Growth With Scholarships
Established in 1992, the J.L. Bedsole Foundation Scholars Program aims to enhance life in Southwest Alabama through educational excellence and economic development. We award scholarship programs to future leaders from Mobile, Baldwin, Washington, Clarke, and Monroe counties based on leadership, community service, academic performance, and financial need. Each scholar’s involvement in community service will help them develop into a servant leader for their community.
Eligibility & Commitment Requirements
Candidates must plan to pursue a Baccalaureate degree at a qualifying Alabama institution and demonstrate a commitment to advancing the region’s civic, cultural, and economic development. The program is intended for students with significant leadership potential and financial need.
Objective Selection & Eligibility
Applicants must not be related to any officer, director, trustee, or committee member of the Foundation. Scholarships are awarded objectively, without regard to gender, race, creed, or religion. Discover what our selection process entails.
