The AlaTrust4U Foundation is proud to announce that Elizabeth Harris of Bessemer has been selected as a 2026 scholarship recipient. Eight scholarships were awarded across Alabama to students continuing their education.
Harris is currently attending Columbus State University, where she is furthering her academic journey.
The AlaTrust4U Foundation’s goal is to increase its financial literacy efforts throughout the state while also supporting educators and those pursuing higher education.
This year’s scholarship recipients were selected through an application process that included personal essays describing their educational goals, career ambitions, and the difference this scholarship will make in their lives. Through their words, these students shared inspiring stories of hard work, determination, and a strong desire to build a better future.
“The most rewarding part of this program each year is reading the students’ essays and learning about their dreams for the future,” said Rachel Kang, Director of AlaTrust4U Foundation Board. “These scholarships represent more than financial support — they represent encouragement, opportunity, and our belief in the potential of our members.”
Through the AlaTrust4U Foundation, AlaTrust Credit Union remains committed to strengthening the communities they serve by supporting education, promoting opportunity, and giving back to Alabamians.
The scholarship program is offered annually, and momentum students are encouraged to apply during the next application period (August 1, 2026 – March 17th, 2027). You can find more information at:
