Birmingham Promise Celebrates 5 Years of Providing Scholarships, Job Opportunities for City Students

For Sarah Granderson, who graduated from Ramsay High School in 2021 and is now a senior at Jacksonville State University, Birmingham Promise is more than a program. “It’s a path to economic opportunity that can truly change lives,” she said.

Through Promise scholarships, Granderson has been able to work toward her degree in political science and sociology without needing student loans. She also continues to benefit from her time as an intern at Oakworth Capital Bank, where she met people who continue to serve as mentors and role models. “To this day, I stay in touch,” she said.

On Friday, Granderson attended a gathering (at The Fennec) that brought together city leaders, employers, and students who have benefited from Birmingham Promise. The program celebrated its fifth anniversary helping city students with scholarships and internships.
