Gorgas Scholarship Competition and Alabama Science Scholar Search 2011 - 2012
Gorgas Scholars compete for over $10,000 in Scholarships and most Alabama Colleges and Universities offer additional scholarships.
The Gorgas Scholarship Program is named for General William Crawford Gorgas, the Alabama physician who conquered yellow fever in the Panama Canal Zone and later became the Surgeon General of the United States Army.
