I know UA has been very generous with scholarships.
Not directly at you cdur, but based on my own ignorance of being offered scholarships. How does it even work? My wife & I are both UA grads, but did it w/o scholarships.
Is it literally as simple as going to afford.ua.edu/scholarships & applying? Or is there more to it?
We're expatriates who kept our Georgia residency (vote, pay state income tax) because our oldest was able to get the HOPE scholarship. But the younger one in 11th has no credits in a GA HS, it's all from a private international school, so I don't think Georgia will allow it this time.
When they don't give the HOPE again, we'll cut our ties w/ the state of Georgia, so it's out of state tuition everywhere. We need to start prepping on getting scholarship offers & from the way you guys talk, I feel like there are processes/inquiries that I'm missing.

It's literally that easy. My son got a tutweiller scholarship out of the blue. It's 3k a semester and keep a 3.0 or higher. He's in state and didn't have a high sat.

Man most schools are giving half tuition scholarships, as a base, just right off the top without needing to apply for anything at all.
It honestly feels like they're just trying to tell people who don't qualify for the base scholarship that they shouldn't even apply.

Kraut Dog, best way for kids to get great scholarships at Bama or AU is to make a very high score on their ACT and/or be a National Merit Finalist or Semifinalist. Then it's a full ride at Bama (including housing) and full tuition plus department scholarship usually at AU. Tell your kids to study, study, study and keep their grades up and hopefully be one who tests well on standardized tests.
