Update from Lacie Nolin in the UA Scholarship Office:
The only thing a student needs to do to qualify for Bama’s NMF award is to submit confirmation to the NMF Scholarship program by the program’s May 1 deadline, designating UA as the student’s first choice school. The student’s Bama application, test scores, etc. can all be submitted later.
So, for any student who’s still uncertain about their plans, it’s not too late!
