Blount-Monaghan-Vulcan Materials Honors Scholarship
provides
a four-year full-tuition scholarship if the recipient maintains a 3.00 grade
point average each year. The Scholarship was established in honor of W.
Houston Blount and the late Bernard A. Monaghan, two of Alabama’s
most highly respected citizens, widely recognized for their leadership in
the business world and their involvement on behalf of many worthwhile
causes.
Thomas E. Jernigan Honor Scholarship Program
was created in
1995 through the foresight and philanthropy of Mr. Jernigan, one of
Birmingham’s most successful business leaders, chairman and CEO of
Marathon Corporation, and member of the Birmingham-Southern Board
of Trustees. Recipients of the Jernigan Scholarship clearly represent our best
and brightest young people but are otherwise financially unable to avail
themselves of the educational advantages at Birmingham-Southern College.
Criteria for selection include the following: (1) a demonstrated need
for financial aid; (2) superior academic achievement; (3) outstanding
character and potential for leadership; (4) a strong personal work ethic as
evidenced by a successful history of after-school and summer jobs; and (5)
a willingness to earn at least ten percent (10%) of his or her total annual
expenses (tuition, room, and board) through work-study and/or other
employment.
Recipients are expected to maintain a 3.00 or higher grade point average
and to exhibit a high degree of integrity, a sense of individual responsibility,
and a respect for conservative and traditional values. Other requirements
and expectations are on file with the Office of Financial Planning.
