Giving Opportunities

The Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions continues to develop innovative academic programs that connect classroom learning with real-world issues, strives to encourage students to maximize their potential and fosters students’ passion to make a difference. Through scholarships and other endowments, we can recruit and retain highly motivated students and provide them with opportunities to achieve their undergraduate and graduate educational goals.

Supporting existing scholarships and other endowments, or creating your own, is a chance to invest in a University of South Alabama student and the future of Allied Health professions. There are a variety of options available to donors who wish to support student scholarships and other endowments. A one-time gift can be given or an endowment can be created to ensure your gift continues to support our students in perpetuity. A minimum gift of $10,000 will establish a named endowed scholarship fund. Such a gift may be made through payments extended over a period of time.

At the University’s 50th anniversary celebration, Abraham Mitchell announced the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative as a $25 million matching challenge to honor late President Emeritus V. Gordon Moulton. This dollar-for-dollar matching program for undergraduate endowed scholarships was created to expand opportunities for current and future USA students by providing them access to an affordable college education. This campaign will allow us to build on our current base of scholarship support, propelling USA to a nationally competitive level. It also serves as an invitation to USA alumni, friends, and community partners to have a lasting impact on the University and its students. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to double your impact by enhancing an existing scholarship or establishing one of your own

Endowed chair, professorship, and lectureship support is another way in which donors can assist the College. Such endowments support and enhance the ability of the College to recruit renowned faculty to teach, participate in scholarship, and provide service to the university, the profession, and the community. However, patients, students and local citizens are not the sole beneficiaries. Named professorships and chairs are both an honor to the named holder of the appointment and are also an enduring tribute to the donor.
