The First Scholars Program at The University of Alabama is available to 24 first-time freshmen who are first-generation college students (parents have no more than two years of education beyond high school and no postsecondary degree) who enroll full-time during this coming academic year.
These selected students will be selected to participate in a comprehensive support program including academic, social, personal development, and financial awards of $5,000 each, half disbursed in the fall and half in the spring semesters. This award is renewable for four years, if students meet program requirements.
This scholarship requires that the recipients live on campus for the first academic year of college and outside of the family home the following three years in order to renew the scholarship.
Students must have applied and been admitted to The University; complete the Student Strengths Inventory; demonstrate financial need; complete the FAFSA by March 1st; be a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen as defined by federal law; be eligible for in-state tuition.
Go to www.firstscholars.ua.edu to apply. Also, applications are available in Ms. Knight's office.
Students must submit all scholarship application materials by February 1st.
