Overview

Guin – Stanford Scholarship Fund Guidelines Tribute: The Guin-Stanford Scholarship award was established by The University Church of Christ in honor of the Honorable J. Foy Guin, Jr. and his wife, Dorace Guin as tribute to his parents J. Foy Guin, Sr. and Ruby Pace Guin, and his uncle and aunt, H. T. and Terrell Pace Stanford. The scholarship guidelines are drafted based on the legacy of these two couples and their contributions. Award: The Guin-Stanford Scholarship is available to graduate students pursuing their Juris Doctor degree at the University of Alabama School of Law on either a part-time or full-time basis. The Scholarship is also available to Alabama teachers who are pursuing a graduate degree in education on either a part-time or full-time basis at the University of Alabama. The scholarship will be awarded to an applicant who models a Christian lifestyle by regular affiliation and participation in any Christian Church. The Community Foundation will project and allocate the assets available for scholarship awards depending on the Fund’s annual income. This scholarship is strictly funded based on available assets. The award can be used for tuition, institutional housing, supplies, books, and fees. Even though a scholarship is listed as “renewable,” this does not guarantee a future award. The award amount can change each year or semester based on available assets; therefore, recipients are encouraged to apply for other available financial resources. Due to the renewable nature of the fund, it may not be available on an annual basis. Please contact the Community Foundation to inquire about award dates.
