Yes, being instate in GA with HOPE, GT would be a sweet deal!

Bob, I had forgotten about the competitive additional scholarship as it isn’t relevant to my son

the Academic Elite scholarship requires that the student apply for University Fellows. If accepted, then the students are considered for the AE award. If you’re talking about the Crimson Alumni scholarship, they’re not awarding to OOS students anymore because the Alumni group can’t afford the OOS rates. However, they may still award one per year to an OOS student, but the chances are lottery-like.

IF the student is in a Arts&Science major (A&S college, not eng’g), and scores an ACT 35-36 or SAT equivalent, then Bama usually awards another $4k per year on top of free tuiton…especially if the student applies early in the app season.
