University of Alabama Scholarship not NMF

Paying for College
1

<p>Hope someone can help me with this question about University of Alabama scholarships.</p>

<p>DS stats: 4.192 weighted, IB, 3 AP classes with scores of 5/4/5 ACT 33, SAT 2030 His ECs are all in community theater. Senior Rep company, many principal roles, etc. Wants to be part of New College and study comedy writing and performing. I know he has Presidential, anything else like the Alumni Foundation scholarships or acting talent? He will not be NMF. In state </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Since he is instate, he has a good chance at the Alumni Crimson scholarship which is almost a free ride. That is given to 9 instate students who didn’t make NMF , but have high stats and other talents.</p>

<p>He should also apply to the University Fellows Experience, there is often more merit available thru that.</p>

<p>There is a very active Alabama forum on College Confidential …you should check it out.

<p>Thanks so much! When we toured in the spring, the Provost (who is so wonderful!) said that UFE really doesn’t fit his interests. He is only interested in studying the arts and dramatic writing/acting specifically. He has the stats for it, but they do a lot of community impact projects that just doesn’t fit him. I will keep my fingers crossed about Crimson scholar!</p>

<p>Do you know what your EFC will be? maybe you’ll qualify for some FA.</p>

<p>We will be expected to contribute 100%. But thanks. His PSAT was 198 so he missed NMF. Darn.</p>

<p>Well, he may want to consider Computer-based honors. The name is a bit confusing. It’s really a research honors program for all majors.</p>
