Oakleigh White / Alfa

CULLMAN – Oakleigh White, a graduate of Cullman High School, received a $1,000 scholarship from the Alfa Foundation. White is a junior at Troy University studying communication studies.

White is one of 100 students from across the state who will reap the rewards of an Alabama Farmers Federation membership when they pay their tuition fees this fall.

In its fourth year, the Alfa Foundation has again distributed $100,000 in scholarships to 100 college students studying at Alabama technical schools, colleges or universities. The scholarship may be used for tuition, fees, books or supplies.

“Alfa is proud to support students who are working hard to educate themselves and develop workforce skills,” said Alfa Insurance and Federation President Jimmy Parnell. “These students are the future of our state and nation, and I hope the scholarship will relieve some of the stress of paying for school.”

The students represent 45 counties and 22 schools.

The Alfa Foundation Scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America, which bases its selection on academics, participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience and future goals.
