The Palmetto Auburn Club Annual Scholarship is awarded each year to an Auburn University student who:

• Is a graduate of a high school in the Palmetto Auburn Club area
• Demonstrates scholastic aptitude by high school GPA and a minimum ACT score of 28 or an equivalent SAT score
• Is an incoming freshman; however, the previous recipient or another current student from the Palmetto Auburn Club area may be considered
• Demonstrates a need for financial assistance (this requirement may be waived)

Selection of the recipient is by the University Scholarship Committee. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the annual contribution by members of the Palmetto Auburn Club.

The Club raised a record $3,200 during the 2007-2008 academic year. Our goal for 2008-2009 is to raise one-third of the anticipated out-of-state tuition, or $6,400. If we raise that amount, Auburn will match our contribution, leaving only the equivalent of in-state tuition to be paid by our recipient!
