Congratulations to the University of Alabama fans for supporting student scholarships. When someone displays their University pride through the purchase of a UA car tag, approximately $50 of the purchase price goes to student scholarships through the National Alumni Association. Each year the NAA takes the money raised from tag sales and puts it in a fund to match endowed scholarship money submitted by local alumni chapters. It makes it entirely possible for the $50 donated for each UA tag purchased EACH YEAR to become $100 towards student scholarships! After the endowed scholarship has been created, the money in the ednowed fund continues to grow for future scholarships for new students to attend the University. We should all be proud that the University of Alabama National Alumni Association awards more money in student scholarships than any other alumni association in the country. You can understand now why Dr. Witt said paying CNS the $4 million + per year was a "sound business decision". Not only as CNS won National Championships but he has helped create an alumni/fanbase that will provide future alumni scholarships for students who aren't even born yet!
Whether you are a fan, supporter, or alumni you can join the local alumni chapter and the NAA which supports your University. Join both! Buy UA car tags and show your pride.! You will enjoy getting involved and it provides scholarship money for all students.
