Make an impact today!

The University of Alabama National Alumni Association helps attract and retain the best and brightest students from across the country by providing financial assistance in the form of endowed scholarships.

In 2017, the Seattle Chapter established the Alabama Alumni - Seattle Chapter Endowed fund to one day award a deserving student from the Seattle area with a scholarship while they attend the Capstone.

As of today, we are just over 50% toward reaching full endowment ($25,000). You can get us one step closer to meeting our goal, and helping the next generation of Alabama alumni, by donating today!

  • In short, the Seattle chapter.

    Once the full endowment is reached, the scholarship will be awarded based on the Memorandum of Agreement filed by the Seattle chapter with the NAA. The MOA defines:

    • Terms and conditions of the fund

    • Selection criteria

    • Composition of the selection committee

    • Duration of the award

  • The University of Alabama National Alumni Association is responsible for managing the fund. Monies are invested in the UA System Endowment Fund.

    Once endowment is reached, the NAA will continue to manage the fund according to the Seattle Chapter's Memorandum of Agreement.

  • The NAA matches contributions through proceeds from the Collegiate License Tag Program. The match amount varies from year-to-year, but historically is between 60-85%.

    This means that your contribution is automatically multiplied by a factor of at least 1.6! For example, a donation of $100 to the Seattle fund would be matched by at least $60 – meaning your total impact would be $160!

    Note: Collegiate tags are only available in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee.

  • The NAA applies the match from the Collegiate License Tag Program after corporate matches. The tag program has historically guaranteed a match of 60-85%.

    For example, a donation of $100, with a 100% company match, means that your total impact would be at least $320!

    Use the full name of the scholarship (Alabama Alumni - Seattle Chapter Endowed) when requesting corporate matches.
