UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS

Scholarship Process for Freshman and Transfer Students

  1. You must complete pages 1-4 of the application for admission and scholarships. The completed application (including all required documentation) must be submitted to Undergraduate Admissions by December 1 for entering freshmen and January 15 for transfer students for priority scholarship consideration.
  2. You will be considered for all University of Alabama scholarships for which you have qualified.
  3. For scholarship consideration, your completed application will be sent to only one college or school—the college or school you indicate in the "College or School of Enrollment" section of the application.
  4. For questions about individual scholarships, refer to the 2004-05 Guide to Undergraduate Scholarships. Or contact your high-school or junior-college guidance counselor.
  5. The national October ACT and the national November SAT results are the last college entrance examination results accepted for students who want scholarship consideration.
  6. To be considered for need-based scholarships, you should have a minimum ACT score of 27 (or an SAT score of 1200 or better) and a high-school GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Some need-based scholarships require students to meet UA's financial aid priority date (March 1).
