Presidential Scholarship (University of Alabama)

The University of Alabama's Presidential Scholarship covers full tuition for incoming freshmen who score 30+ on the ACT (or 1360+ SAT) with at least a 3.5 GPA in-state, or 32+ ACT/1420+ SAT with a 3.5 GPA out-of-state; no separate application is needed beyond UA's regular admission application. Students who post a perfect 36 ACT/1600 SAT with a 4.0 GPA are automatically upgraded to Presidential Elite, which adds a year of on-campus housing, a $1,500 annual supplemental stipend, and a one-time $2,000 allowance for research or study abroad. The award renews for up to four years of undergraduate study.
