Doing More Today Nearly 50 Alabama State University seniors received the surprise of a lifetime when they heard the words âpaid in full!â The soon-to-be graduates, who thought they would not be able to graduate because of financial challenges, were ecstatic to learn in a surprise reveal that their balances to the university were cleared. The Regions Foundation, a nonprofit initiative of Regions Bank that supports community investments, provided a $250,000 grant to help make it happen. The grant was part of the âCross the Finish Lineâ fundraising campaign at ASU, which was also supplemented by donations from alumni. Organizers said the Regions Foundation grant would not only help 2021 graduates, it will also help next yearâs senior class.
