"SOLD OUT!"

The 23rd Annual Black-Tie Scholarship Gala

Friday, April 21, 2023

AAMU Event Center

The Black-Tie Scholarship Gala is Alabama A&M University’s premiere fundraising event and is designed to support talented students who demonstrate a financial need. Of our 6,100 students, roughly 90% need financial aid to support their educational expenses. Your support of this event will grant students an education and a future filled with possibilities.

Aside from supporting a very worthy cause, you can also anticipate a soulful performance featuring Grammy-nominated R&B artist Eric Benet!

The Black-Tie Scholarship Gala serves to recognize community leaders and organizations that have made a positive impact in their industries as well as here at Alabama A&M University.

All proceeds will be used as scholarship dollars for deserving students at Alabama A&M. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact blacktie@aamu.edu or (256) 372-8344. Thank you in advance for your support.
