The Nancy Parker Memorial Scholarship

The Nancy Parker Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Central Alabama Community Foundation, supports graduating high school seniors who are preparing for their postsecondary education. To qualify for this program, applicants must be seniors at Opelika High School. Candidates are required to hold a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and have earned an ACT score of 21 or above. Additionally, eligible students must demonstrate strong leadership qualities in their school or community. The scholarship funds are designed to help cover the costs of attending college. While the application process is managed directly through the foundation's online portal, students should also complete the FAFSA to establish their general eligibility for federal and institutional financial aid. The annual deadline to submit all required application materials for this scholarship is March 1.
