Shakristal Williams of Greensboro Earns UA Away Scholarship

2017 Jun 15

Shakristal Williams of Greensboro, AL (36744) has received a UA Away scholarship from The University of Alabama.

UA Away scholarships, including the Sara J. Finley Global Leadership Endowed Scholarship and the Ann and A. F. Delchamps Jr. Endowed Scholarship, provide financial support for undergraduate students who wish to participate in learning opportunities away from the UA campus. UA Away supports three distinct opportunities:

Study Away: Students travel to another country, city or university to study in their academic fields. The Study Abroad Program and National Student Exchange offer these opportunities.

Serve Away: Students volunteer for service projects, often related to their fields of study or career goals, which expose them to issues related to poverty, hunger, and lack of educational resources, and expose them to new cultures and regions. Opportunities for service are available through the Center for Service and Leadership.

Work Away: Students receive first-hand work experience, related to academic and career goals, that increases their marketability to future employers.
