UA Law Alumnus Establishes Undergraduate Scholarship

October 5, 2016

Tyrell Jordan, UA alumnus and lawyer, is applauded after a recent announcement that he'd established a scholarship endowment at UA.

Tyrell F. Jordan (’04) has created a $25,000 endowed undergraduate scholarship to support students from underrepresented urban communities.

Jordan, a product of the Birmingham City Schools, earned an undergraduate degree in accounting from UA in 2001.

The scholarship was announced Sept. 26 during “Coming Back, Giving Back,” a dinner gathering hosted by the Division of Community Affairs advisory board at the Bryant Conference Center.

“I always dreamed of serving my community through the practice of law,” said Jordan, a Community Affairs board member. “The University of Alabama’s commitment to helping all of its students reach their full potential provided me with an opportunity to fulfill that dream. I want to do my part to ensure that others have that same opportunity.”
