Are there any specific scholarships for students pursuing engineering in Alabama?

There may be scholarships available that meet your needs: however, there area some steps that would be helpful for you to take before investigating scholarships. It is very important that you first confirm that engineering is an area that matches your personality traits and then talk to people working in engineering to see what they do, how they got there, and what advice and suggestions that they might have for you.

The best sources for information about scholarships would be the reference librarian at your local library and professional associations to which people in your area of interest belong (these will be referred to later in my answer), but first you need to get to know yourself better.

Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many .

You should first disavow yourself of the idea that engineering is state-centric. It actually never was, but these days, especially so, since engineering is definitely globalized. I teach classes in Global Engineering Process for that reason. Engineering and Math and Physics are, and always have been, universal. With today's internet and general communication abilities, there are precious few state-centric, or even country-centric applications. Also, with telecommuting, teams are distributing over all boundaries. Now, if you really want a scholarship for a particular state because you actually want to study in that state or for a specific college, you can easily simply send letters to each of your target colleges. They will certainly have the most up-to-date information on what is available. But other than that, I would say it's really unnecessary to focus on a single state. In my case, I had a scholarship that was funded by Michigan, but the funding paled in comparison to the country-wide scholarships I was offered. If you have any aptitude at all, the opportunities to study are quite rich and vast. But demonstrating an ability is the most important. Colleges are generally not interested in "remedial" work for you to disprove your lack of ability or drive or responsibility in the past. And corporations are not so much interested in folks who have not done much through their scholarly careers. But since you're asking this specific question, I'd bet that you have nothing to worry about in that regard. So send letters, make phone calls, talk to people. The world wants engineers, so ride the wave.
