The Alabama Student Grant Program (ASGP) helps Alabama residents pursuing undergraduate study at a participating independent institution. Its most important planning feature is also its limit: it is not a statewide grant available at every public university, and it is not need-based. The official list includes only eleven colleges, including Amridge, Faulkner, Huntingdon, Miles, Oakwood, Samford, Spring Hill, Stillman, and the University of Mobile, plus other specifically named institutions. Before choosing a school, check the exact legal name and campus against the list.
The Alabama Commission on Higher Education lists a maximum of $3,000 per academic year, while warning that allocations vary with available funding. The 2026–27 form asks for state residency, undergraduate status, full- or half-time enrollment, satisfactory academic progress, and other citizenship and program requirements. The grant supports secular education and excludes certain courses leading to a religious vocation. Submit the application to the financial-aid office at a participating institution, not to a school that does not appear on the list.
The current-cycle form sets term-specific dates: the institution had to receive fall 2026 applications by September 15, a deadline that has passed. It lists January 15 for winter 2027, February 15 for the spring semester, and April 15 for the spring quarter. Submit early enough for the campus to verify residency and enrollment, and ask whether funds remain. The $3,000 ceiling does not mean every student receives that amount or that it covers the full cost of attendance.
Before accepting aid, compare net cost and uncovered charges. Confirm residency, program, credits, deadlines, renewal, and service obligations in writing with the responsible financial-aid office.
Read the official program profile and FAFSA guide; request an individual review before enrolling.
