SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD

academic and endowment scholarships

These scholarships are privately donated funds given to Stillman College students each year from private gifts made by individuals, groups, or companies. They are awarded to students based on various criteria, including major, high school attended, outstanding academic achievement, community service, leadership, or financial need.

Stillman College uses AwardSpring to match students with Academic and Endowment Scholarships. Students can complete the application in a few easy steps. Through AwardSpring, you can check your eligibility and review all available scholarships.

Athletics Scholarships

Our office administers athletic scholarships awarded by the Athletic Department. For more information about athletic scholarships, please call Mrs. Daphne Hood, the Administrative Assistant to the Office of the Athletics Department, at 205.366.8987 or write to the head coach of the sport you are interested in.

International Student Scholarships

Stillman College offers several scholarships to our students; however, financial assistance in grants, loans, or need-based aid is unavailable to international students. Only students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens can receive federal and state financial aid.

Music Scholarships

Scholarships are available for the Choir and Band programs.
