For over 25 years, we have awarded an average of $14,500 annually in academic scholarships through the different ASF Foundation programs, for a total of $416,000.
We take pride in supporting academics and we will always invest in our future, the youth of Alabama! At the 42nd Opening Ceremony for the Alabama State Games the ASF Foundation's Scholarship Initiative will be giving out 34 scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to registered athletes that attend the opening ceremony and participate in the parade of athletes and the State Farm Leadership Summit -- for a total of $50,000 in scholarship giveaways!
If you are from out-of-state, you will be sorted into a region at random.
The ASF Foundation is proud to partner with Gray Television for broadcasting video of the Alabama State Games and Opening Ceremony.
