College Scholarships

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) - There's a new partnership between the University of Alabama, University of North Alabama and the UMCH that could give more students a chance at a college education. The United Methodist Children's Home is providing an opportunity for young people using its existing Tuscaloosa and Florence group homes starting in fall of 2013. The UMCH is offering scholarships and housing opportunities to foster children attending college. University of Alabama junior, Motell Foster, is a perfect example of the kind of impact scholarships like these can have on children who came from alternative living situations. Foster received his scholarship to the University of Alabama through the Presbyterian Home for Children, and it's made a huge difference in his life. CBS 42's Leigh Garner reports.
