Don’t forget to re-apply to scholarships after your freshman year! There are 100s (just not individually named). Many have additional essays you will need to write, or additional info you need to provide. You do so through the scholarship app in the mybama page in the late fall. Deadline is usually early 2017 (Feb 10 or Mar 1 - it has been changing in recent years). Also, research thoroughly your department’s/major’s page for scholarship info. Some lucky students are invited to apply…others need to be proactive and search these out. Some colleges will have their own scholarship coordinator; I know Engineering does. This coordinator sends out emails to students whenever opportunities arise.

Here is a link to the many scholarships awarded through the various Alumni chapters nationwide. They list the deadline as March 1: http://alumni.ua.edu/scholarships/. Look down the right hand column for a PDF (2015-2016 Scholarship Recipients (PDF Format)) for a full listing. They do not post this until well after the end of their financial year, so this appears to be a listing of scholarships awarded for those students who applied in March 2015, for the 2015-2016 school year.
