Entering freshmen must submit the following by December 1 of their senior year in high school in order to receive priority consideration for academic scholarships:
Entering freshmen should apply for scholarships during the fall of their senior year in high school. A completed admissions application will need to be submitted to The University of Alabama before completing the scholarship application.
The scholarship priority date is December 1 (the application should be submitted online by Dec. 1 and any required materials sent by mail should be postmarked no later than Dec. 1).
In order to be considered for any scholarships you are eligible for as an incoming freshman, a completed scholarship application must be submitted online (this includes the résumé portion of the scholarship application). To complete the scholarship application, go to myBama, log in, click the Academics tab, and select the Application for Scholarships link in the Admissions box.
Once a scholarship application has been submitted, changes cannot be made to the application online. All changes must be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Scholarships using our contact form.
When a student submits the scholarship application, it is disseminated to the National Alumni Association and the college/school in which you will major (e.g., Arts and Sciences, Business, etc.) for scholarship consideration. Entering freshmen are not responsible for submitting numerous applications to different departments.
The application is updated each year, so it is very important to wait until the senior year of high school to ensure that the correct application is completed.
* Grade point averages for 9th-11th grade are the only years reviewed for scholarship consideration.
** Please note that the national October ACT and national November SAT results are the last college entrance examination results accepted for students who wish to be considered for scholarships.
