Two Baldwin County students have been selected among 100 recipients of the 2026-27 Alfa Foundation Scholarship Program, earning financial support to continue their education in Alabama.
Marissa Anderson of Bay Minette, a freshman at Coastal Alabama Community College, received a $1,000 scholarship to use toward tuition, fees, books or supplies.
Cooper Long of Fairhope, a freshman at Auburn University, also received a $1,000 scholarship to help cover tuition, fees, books or supplies.
Since 2014, the Alfa Foundation has awarded $1.25 million to deserving students through its scholarship program, which is administered by Kaleidoscope. This year's recipients represent 44 counties and will attend 27 academic institutions across the state.
“On behalf of the Alfa Foundation, we are proud to support this outstanding group of students as they further their education within the state of Alabama,” said Alfa Insurance President Jimmy Parnell.
Scholarships were awarded based on grade point average, participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience and future goals.
To qualify, students must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time accredited program at a two-year or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school located in Alabama.
