• About Alabama State University

  Originally called the Lincoln School of Marion in Marion, Alabama, the institution was founded as a private school for blacks by former slaves. The school first opened with 113 students, and by 1874, became the first state supported educational institution for African-American students. The school transitioned a few times from being called State Teachers College in 1929 to Alabama State College in 1954. In 1969, the name Alabama State University was approved and began offering undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as scholarship funding.Alabama State University: About ASU
