Virtual Options– The Admissions Office continues to offer an array of virtual options for your students.

Scholarship Priority Date– Our merit scholarship priority date is February 1, 2021. Students interested in qualifying for scholarships should be admitted to UM by the priority date. After February 1, we will award merit aid on a funds available basis.

This fall, The University of Alabama added Competitive Academic Scholarships to support students who apply as test optional as well as students who submit our scholarship application.

We review all submitted scholarship applications along with a student’s core GPA for our Competitive Academic Scholarships. The best scholarship applicants are placed into three tiers who are then eligible for competitive academic awards.

To better serve our admitted students and their families, we will begin notifying our UA Competitive Academic Scholarship recipients on December 15, with subsequent release dates in February and March.

• The first round is December 15 for applications submitted by October 31.
• The second round occurs February 1 for applications submitted by December 31.
• The third round happens the first week of March, which is when all students receive their consolidated offer letters based on scholarship applications submitted by January 15.

Because several factors go into a student’s competitive award, it will not be uncommon for students that submit their scholarship application at an earlier date to receive a later notification. Please rest assured, even if your student does not receive notification for an early round, their scholarship application will roll to the next round for further review.

For students who have been admitted but not completed a scholarship application, we ask you strongly encourage your students to submit that by January 15, 2021.

Should you have any questions, we welcome you to reach out to our scholarship’s office at scholarships@ua.edu, call 800-933-BAMA (2262) and press option #5, or visit our Q&A page (link below).

I wanted to send some information regarding UNA’s Virtual Preview Day on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH FROM 5PM-7PM. We will host the event via REMO – a unique virtual conferencing software that allows students to “move” about the virtual event and talk directly to Admissions, Financial Aid, our Colleges and programs – and more!

We are also hosting a Drive Thru College Fair. If you have students who are interested in a full-service visit, they can come to the drive thru fair and then get a tour of our campus immediately after!

Students can register via their MyUNA account at apply.una.edu, or go to una.edu/visit for more information.

I am able to accept transcripts from counselors via email. If you have students who have applied to UNA, please feel free to send me information regarding transcripts or ACT scores.

– AUM has a free application year-round so you won’t need to get a code or voucher for the AL College App week. The application will be open for seniors until August of 2021.

– Automatic (Merit) Scholarships start at an 18 on the ACT. We super-score the ACT at AUM, and our scholarship deadline isn’t until June 1, 2021 for seniors.

– AUM is also offering a waiver on the ACT for Fall of 2021 (because of the virus). This means that if a student has a 2.3-2.99 GPA they will be accepted (conditionally) through AUM Bridge; if they have a 3.0+ GPA they will be accepted and offered our starting scholarship automatically. The ACT/SAT can only help a student, it cannot hurt their scholarships or their acceptance!
