Scholarships // UAH FOUNDATION PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP
MERIT TUITION Scholarships
This scholarship is based on academic merit and awarded each year to select incoming first-time freshmen graduating from public high schools in Huntsville/ Madison County, Alabama. This four-year award is valued at full tuition (up to 16 credit hours per semester) for four years plus $500 toward course fees per year. Eligible candidates must have a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 in addition to a minimum ACT score of 25 or minimum SAT score of 1130. Candidates should submit a UAH Scholarship Application, be fully admitted by the scholarship priority date (December 1), and be recommended by either their high school counselor and/or an admissions counselor from UAH. Renewal is based on satisfactory academic progress and full-time student status. These awards will replace any UAH Merit Tuition Scholarship of equal or lesser value for which the student may qualify.
UAH recognizes incoming first-time freshmen who have demonstrated superior academic achievement in high school through a variety of merit tuition scholarships. Students who submit an Application for Admission, official transcripts, and standardized test scores are automatically eligible for consideration. No separate scholarship application is required. High school GPA and ACT/SAT scores are used to identify recipients. Final award eligibility will be determined by high school GPA at the end of the junior year, and by all ACT/SAT test scores submitted through and including the last testing date before the start of the fall semester. Students must be admitted to UAH to be eligible for these awards. Priority consideration is given to students who are admitted to UAH by June 1. Students admitted after the priority deadline may be eligible for awards as funding is available. In-state includes residents of Alabama and select counties in Tennessee (Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Giles, Lawrence, Lincoln, Marshall, Moore and Marion).
