Samford Parents Scholarship Celebrates Five Years!
Samford parents find joy and pride in watching their students walk through the Samford experience. That is why it is so important to us to help other students and families realize their Samford dream, especially when some families are in desperate need of our help.
We invite you to join us in giving to the Samford Parents Scholarship Fund. We want to continue to bring Samford parents together to help each other in times of need. Growing the scholarship fund each year ensures that it is available to help students who face unexpected financial hardship in their last year of college.
As part of the Forever Samford campaign, the Samford Parents Scholarship has seen what started as a grassroots effort turn into a Samford tradition. We now celebrate five years of supporting students!
Sarah Grace is now one of eight students who have received support during challenging times through the Samford Parents Scholarship.

During the annual campaign, Samford families harness their love for each other and their state to compete and leverage support for the scholarship. Get your state on the top of the leaderboard by giving and sharing with other families in your state or region.
Want to learn how you can help get more parents involved? Check-out the volunteer toolkit or contact Rhonda White at rwhite7@samford.edu or 205-726-4371.
We have until midnight on December 31, 2021 to meet our goal!
Thank you for investing in our Samford family!
