To recognize outstanding achievements of Alabama high school students, The University of Alabama is offering the Alabama Prestige Scholarship to at least one student from every high school in the state.

Awarded to selected Alabama scholars with exemplary academic and non-academic achievements, The Alabama Prestige Scholarship will cover tuition for four years, as well as housing for the first year.

With this scholarship, the institution of higher learning waives tuition and instructional fees, and the amount for textbooks depends on the number of participants in the program. The scholarship is renewable up to four standard academic years of nine months each, and recipients must reapply each year.

ASAP is a need-based, state grant ranging from $300 to $5,000 per academic year.

The Alabama Student Grant Program is a state student assistance program established August 4, 1978 by the Legislature of the State of Alabama and designed to provide financial assistance to residents of the State of Alabama for undergraduate nonsectarian, secular education at independent, nonprofit, or other legislatively identified postsecondary educational institutions of higher learning located within the State of Alabama. This is not a need based program.

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Award recently awarded The University of Alabama a $1 million grant to develop a community college advising program to help low income students in the Black Belt and Appalachia transfer to and graduate from four year institutions. Building on this initiative, The University of Alabama proposes a new need-based financial aid program, Alabama’s Promise, to compliment this important work.

The Alumni Scholarship Program was initiated in 1967 by the Alumni Council. The program is currently designed to:

reward high school seniors and transfer students for their academic and leadership achievements,
recognize current full-time undergraduate students for academic excellence,
assist graduate students with their efforts for higher learning,
support distance learners with their online education,
retain UA Early College students entering as on-campus freshmen, and
attract children and grandchildren of active UA graduates to the Capstone.
Although the Alumni Scholarship Program manages scholarships for students who have a parent or grandparent who received a degree from UA, the majority of our scholarships are available to all students, regardless of any affiliation with UA.

Each year Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarships are usually awarded to qualified members for five different scholarship types, including two specialized scholarships: an Emergency Maneuver Training Scholarship and an International Scholarship for pilots in developing countries.  In addition, the Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund (AEMSF) provides Research Scholarship Grants and, for Student Pilot members, the First Wings Awards. 99s members and other individuals have donated to the Fund through their estate bequests, individual gifts, and the Perpetual Scholarship program. Since 1941, the AEMSF has awarded over 800 scholarships plus more than 300 awards to student pilots working toward their first certificate. The amount awarded for these scholarships, including Research Scholar Grants and Fly Now/First Wings Awards exceeds $12 Million. The AEMSF's investment account is currently valued at over $6 Million.
