Greetings and Roll Tide! Welcome to the online home of the Southern Arizona Chapter of The University of Alabama Alumni Association. This chapter is an organization for all BAMA alumni, family, fans and friends residing in or visiting Tucson and the Southern Arizona area. We welcome your participation in all of our events including weekly game viewing parties during football season and occasional special events. We also encourage your active support of the University of Alabama, the Alumni Association and student scholarships.
As you visit our website, we hope you’ll see that our chapter is a fun group of Alabama supporters who enjoy celebrating UA’s rich tradition of excellence in all that we do. Please take a few minutes to visit our website and come back often for updates!

Scholarship and Recruitment:
A key objective of our chapter is to provide scholarships to deserving Bama bound students from Arizona and to assist in the recruitment of future Arizona high school students who are considering The University of Alabama for their higher education. We are only able to reach these goals through the continuous support of our chapter members, the local alumni and friends of The University of Alabama.
In 2010, the Alabama alumni chapters in Phoenix and Southern Arizona jointly established the Grand Canyon State Alabama Alumni Endowed Scholarship. The fund reached the endowment goal of $20,000 in July 2012 and may start rewarding scholarships to students from Arizona attending the University of Alabama beginning with the 2013-2014 Freshman class. Contributions of alumni and friends to the Scholarship fund are also matched annually by proceeds from the University of Alabama car tag sales in Alabama and area alumni so every contribution matters and with income from the corpus can grow quickly. As of July 20, 2012, the corpus balance in the Grand Canyon State Alabama Alumni Scholarship fund was approximately $20,808.
