Alabama Advantage Scholarship

The University of Alabama offers the Alabama Advantage Scholarship as a need-based scholarship for in-state students. 

After scholarships and grants have been applied, Alabama Advantage funds up to $5,000 needed to cover the remaining cost of UA’s in-state tuition. The scholarship is renewable for four years, or eight semesters, so long as the student remains eligible.

• Be an Alabama resident.

• Submit an application for admission and all supporting documents by December 5 to maximize scholarship opportunities.

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and meet the Pell Grant eligibility requirements.

• Submit all financial aid package requirements and receive financial aid award by May 1.
