Heroes Scholarship

The University of South Alabama offers the Heroes Scholarship to active-duty U.S. military members and public safety employees seeking an undergraduate degree. The scholarship covers tuition expenses not met by federal tuition assistance, allowing enrollment in online or in-person courses. Active-duty military must be in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard. Public safety employees must be full-time in EMS, law enforcement, fire-rescue, or emergency management. The scholarship provides 37.5% of the remaining tuition balance after other aid for public safety employees, and specific arrangements for Mobile County Deputy Sheriff & Correctional Officer Foundation members.
