The National Alumni Society serves UAB alumni and students through engaging events and resources and provides student scholarships each year through fundraising events. This much-needed assistance is awarded to a wide range of students from across campus, including first-year, legacy and graduate students.

All proceeds from the Scholarship Run will go toward scholarships for UAB students, helping them overcome financial barriers and achieve their educational dreams. Participation and support from the community are crucial in making this event a success. Since the first Scholarship Run in 2007, this event has allowed the UAB National Alumni Society to raise more than $1 million to help support student scholarships.
