Alabama Power Foundation

We are incredibly grateful for the Alabama Power Foundation's generous $3,000 donation to the Bishop State Community College Foundation! Because of support like this, we can continue providing vital resources for our students, including scholarships that help clear their academic paths and programs that support them in times of need, such as the Student Emergency Fund and Food Insecurity Program. Our commitment to every student’s success goes beyond the classroom, and gifts like these make all the difference. Thank you for helping us empower our future leaders so they can make their Bishop Statement! #BishopStatement Alabama Power Company Alabama Community College System
