# 8th Annual College Scholarship Application Deadline Approaching

Publisher’s Note

High School Seniors in the five county Birmingham area have until Friday **March 13, 2026** to apply for the 8th Annual *Birmingham Christian Family* Scholarship Awards. This year we will have three scholarship recipients who will be able to use their award at the college or university of their choice- $2000 to the winner, and $500 each to the top two runner ups. The scholarships can be used at any college or university.

To enter, students simply submit online a short essay on the following prompt: “How has your Christian faith impacted your decision to go to college?”

Visit [www.birminghamchristian.com/scholarship](http://www.birminghamchristian.com/scholarship) to apply.

A big thanks to our scholarship sponsors who help make this program possible each year- including [Alabama Credit Union](http://www.alabamacu.com/), [ALFA Farmers](https://alfafarmers.org/), [American Village](http://www.americanvillage.org/), [The Center](https://thecenterbham.org/), and [Vulcan Termite and Pest Control](http://www.vulcantermite.com/).
