UA has no Medical or Vet School, and no Agriculture School, so relative to schools like UAB and Auburn, it gets far less state funding, especially research money. If you look at the total funding differential, it is quite shocking.
So The University of Alabama School of Medicine is actually no longer that?

UA School of Medicine's funding goes through UAB, not UA. Also, many of the STEM programs at UAB are related to the presence of the UA School of Medicine in Birmingham. The only part of the UA School of Medicine with a physical presence in Tuscaloosa is a rural primary care medicine department, not a major research component of the UA School of Medicine.

Just look at the much more expensive tuition for out of state students. This is why even with many or most out of state students on at least partial scholarships, UA is making out like a bandit.
Direct Cost In-State Out-of-State
Tuition $10,780 $29,230
Fees Estimate 800 800
Room 8,900 8,900
Board 4,502 4,502
Total Direct $24,982 $43,432
Indirect Cost In-State Out-of-State
Books $1,200 $1,200
Transportation 2,100 2,940
Miscellaneous 2,390 2,390
Loan Fee 70 70
Total Indirect $5,760 $6,600
TOTAL (Direct + Indirect)
$30,742 $50,032
Don't forget what I mentioned in another post in this thread. Scholarship requirements are significantly higher for out of state students. In addition, as of this Fall, every single UA freshman who has at least a 3.5 GPA AND an ACT of at least 21, receives a partial scholarship.
Finally, compare scholarship requirements for in vs out of state students: LINK

It is MUCH easier for an in-state student to qualify for merit aid.

As far as the business entity goes, University of Alabama Health Systems was rolled into UAB in 2014 or 2015.
The College of Health Sciences in Tuscaloosa is under the UA umbrella, but the MD students there are from UAB.

My alma mater has a $1 billion endowment but keep costs down by having work-study of 10-15 hours per week. I graduated debt-free.
