Mary Katherine “Katy” Williamson Scholarship Fund

The Mary Katherine “Katy” Williamson Scholarship Fund is administered by the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama to assist local students pursuing higher education. This program is specifically available to students in Clay, Talladega, St. Clair, and Etowah counties. It is designed to help cover the costs of attending college, such as tuition, fees, and other educational expenses.

To apply, candidates must access the foundation's online portal, select their county of residence, and review the detailed guidelines for this specific fund. The application process typically requires students to submit academic records and financial information. While the foundation manages its own application system, students are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate financial need, which is a common requirement for regional community foundation awards. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
