THE SHOALS-The University of North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley Historical Society are very pleased to announce an exceptional opportunity to win scholarship money. Three scholarships worth $750, $500, and $250 will be awarded at the twenty-sixth annual Tennessee Valley Historical Society’s History Scholarship Competition.
This competition is scheduled for Friday, 6 March 2015, from 9:00 a.m. until approximately 1:00 p.m. in the Guillot University Center on UNA’s campus in Florence, Alabama.
This year’s scholarship competition is limited to high school seniors and juniors. Participants complete a written test on U.S. and World history. Seniors with the top two scores on the exam will receive a one-time scholarship of $750 and $500 and the top junior will receive a $250 scholarship to attend UNA.
In addition to the scholarship exam, students will have an opportunity to participate in a public history enrichment activity. This will give students an opportunity to explore the campus and the community and see that history can be a vital part of our every-day lives.
Along with the scholarship competition, students will be provided with a campus tour and lunch.
