ASHS Foundation

President's Welcome

Welcome to the Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences Foundation. It is an honor to share the story of this bold and unprecedented effort to build Alabama’s first tuition‑free, residential, statewide healthcare high school. This school exists because our state needs a new generation of compassionate, highly skilled healthcare professionals—and because generous people like you believe in giving students every opportunity to rise, lead, and serve.

From the beginning, philanthropic support has been the driving force behind this vision. Every classroom, every lab, every opportunity our students will experience is made possible through the generosity of individuals, families, organizations, and partners who understand the long-term impact of investing in young people. No matter the amount you contribute, your support helps build a school that will change lives and strengthen Alabama’s healthcare workforce for decades to come.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our Foundation Board members and the countless volunteers who have poured their time, expertise, and passion into launching this school. Their commitment has transformed an ambitious idea into a statewide movement—one that is already inspiring students, families, and communities across Alabama.

I invite you to explore our Foundation website and the Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences school site to learn more about our mission, our programs, and the students we serve. We are actively seeking volunteers who can help us raise both awareness and philanthropic support. If you know a student who would thrive in a rigorous, mission-driven environment focused on healthcare careers, please encourage them to apply.

Thank you for visiting, for believing in this work, and for considering how you might join us. Together, we are building something extraordinary for Alabama’s students and for the future of healthcare in our state.

Sincerely,

J. Scott Huffman, CFRE

President & CEO
