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.”
