Scholarships for UA Early College Students?

I'm enrolled in UA Early College and was wondering if there are specific scholarships available for us. Are there any unique financial aid opportunities I should be aware of? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this path.

Absolutely, there are indeed specific scholarships for students enrolled in UA Early College at the University of Alabama. One key scholarship to keep in mind is the UAEC Scholarship. UA Early College students who complete the UAEC 200 College Readiness Course with a B or better are eligible to receive a UAEC scholarship of $250 per UA course up to a maximum of four courses taken before high school graduation.

Another opportunity is the UA Early College Summer On Campus (SOC) Scholarship. This is aimed for students enrolled in the Summer On Campus program and covers housing for the five-week SOC program, the on-campus meal plan, and some programmed activities.

In addition to this, you may also be eligible for the 2+2 Partners Pathway Scholarship. Should you be a participant of the 2+2 Partners Pathway program, up to $3,000 per year may be available to you, provided that you complete 18 UA Early College credit hours with a 3.5 or higher GPA.

Remember, in order to be considered for these and many more scholarships, you need to complete the scholarship application by the priority date. Just make sure you understand the eligibility criteria and application process for each scholarship you pursue.

Always explore all your options to secure the best possible financial aid package! Don't limit yourself to scholarships and aid from the university itself—there are thousands of external scholarship programs that can help you cover education expenses. Looking into all available resources will give you the best chance of reducing your college costs significantly.
