This $30.00 will be awarded for scholarships to residents of Ohio who attend The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Bottom line, you purchase an Alabama tag in the State of Ohio, you are helping a neighbor get a college education at The Capstone. These funds will be awarded through the various endowed scholarships available at both CrimsonAti and the Roll Tide Ohio (Central Ohio) chapter.
