About Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation Inc. directs its giving to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College itself, with the largest recent grants split between student scholarships and broad institutional support. In 2024, it awarded $1,142,855 for student scholarships and another $1,003,409 to assist students, staff, and faculty of the college. That pattern continued in 2023, when the foundation gave $994,050 for the same student-staff-faculty purpose and $776,862 for student scholarships. It also funds designated positions at the university, including $398,774 in 2024 for salaries and benefits of certain positions. The foundation’s stated purpose is to advance education by establishing and implementing programs and activities that support Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, its faculty, and its students. Its active scholarship programs show that support can take several forms, including general scholarship awards, named memorial scholarships, and annual and endowed scholarship funds. The recent grants indicate that the foundation combines direct student aid with operating support for the college’s personnel and programs. That makes it a funder centered on the institution’s internal capacity as well as student access to attendance costs and academic support.
What Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Foundation Funds
Student financial aid is a major part of the foundation’s work. The ABAC Foundation Scholarship Program and ABAC Foundation Scholarships both support costs of attendance such as tuition, fees, room and board, and supplies, and recipients are selected by ABAC rather than through an open award process. A named example is the B. Frank Strickland Memorial Scholarship, which supports entering freshmen or rising sophomores from a tobacco-producing county who plan to attend ABAC in the fall semester. The foundation also supports the college’s operating structure. One recent grant was for salaries and benefits of certain positions at the university, and another was to assist students, staff, and faculty of the college. Its active program list also includes the ABAC Foundation Annual & Endowed Scholarship Program, which ties scholarship support to individual fund agreements. A third area is memorial and committee-directed scholarship support. The Maria Guadalupe Cervantes Memorial Scholarship requires academic information, autobiographical materials, and recommendation letters.
