The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa offers a variety of scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential and Collegiate Scholarships, are awarded based on academic achievement, test scores, and leadership qualities. Need-based aid requires FAFSA submission and considers financial circumstances.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors or extracurricular involvement, like arts or athletics. Out-of-state students may qualify for competitive scholarships reducing tuition costs. Additionally, external organizations and private donors provide numerous opportunities. Prospective students should review UA’s scholarship portal and deadlines to maximize their chances of securing financial support.
