List of UAH Scholarships
UAH departmental scholarships are open to all students, entering and current. Alumni, parents, and friends, along with corporations, foundations, and organizations, have established these scholarship funds recognizing academic merit, leadership qualities, demonstrated financial need, and athletic or artistic talent. Historical information on each scholarship is listed in the UAH Undergraduate Catalog. Award amounts range from textbook funding to full tuition, and may be supplemented with other scholarship awards. These distinguished and limited awards are highly competitive. Submission of one UAH Scholarship Application each year will apply a student for all available departmental scholarships. Students must be fully admitted and submit a UAH Scholarship Application by the priority deadline to receive priority consideration for departmental scholarships. It is recommended that applicants also submit the Scholarship Need
Analysis form by the priority deadline, as some departmental scholarships consider financial need in the
selection process. Award notifications for the upcoming academic year
begin in late winter/early spring, and continue through the summer.
Scholarship Opportunities Specific to Entering First-Time Freshmen: UAH Presidential and Academic Excellence Scholarships UAH awards these prestigious scholarships on the basis of academic performance to incoming first-time freshmen. The high school GPA in academic/core subject areas, combined with ACT and/or SAT scores, is evaluated and used in the selection process (SAT scores evaluated do not include the writing section). These awards are granted to qualifying students upon admission, and do not require a scholarship application. The selection process for this scholarship program ends June 1st each year. Initial award amounts for the Presidential and Academic Excellence scholarships range from $600 to full tuition+, depending on academic qualifications. The amount of the award increases each year the student renews by the same percentage as any tuition increase, to maintain the relative value of the award. These scholarships are renewable for up to three additional years, based on satisfactory academic progress and performance. UAH Academic Excellence awards begin at a minimum 23 ACT score (1070 SAT) combined with a minimum 2.75 GPA in academic subjects.
