Overview

Hayden Family Scholarship Fund Guidelines Tribute: The Hayden Family Scholarship was a gift from Ms. Jerry Hayden in memory of her father, George Tynan Hayden. Ms. Hayden was a lifelong member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church and a dear friend to everyone she met. Award: The scholarship benefits individuals pursuing an associate's, bachelor's degree or State of Alabama approved workforce training program. The award is for either part-time or full-time enrolled students to attend any accredited institution of higher learning in the United States. The award is renewable annually for four years, providing that the recipient continues to maintain the standards of these Guidelines. 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.
