The Barber-Vallely Family Scholarship

The Barber-Vallely Family Scholarship is an annual educational program administered by the Central Alabama Community Foundation. This funding opportunity is specifically designed for student-athletes who have graduated from Opelika High School in Alabama. To qualify for consideration, applicants must have participated in a sport recognized by the Alabama High School Athletic Association, or AHSAA. The scholarship funds are intended to help cover the costs of pursuing higher education, such as tuition, fees, and other related academic expenses. To apply, students must complete the foundation's online application process. While the foundation evaluates candidates based on their athletic participation and high school background, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, as community foundation scholarships often review financial need or require student aid reports during the selection process. All required application materials must be submitted by the established deadline of March 1.
