University of North Alabama Freshman and Endowed Scholarships

The University of North Alabama page brings together first-year awards and endowed funds that may depend on a student’s school, county, major, or activities. The published priority date for the main 2027 freshman awards is March 1, 2027. The chart combines unweighted GPA and, where applicable, ACT scores; do not estimate an award from one grade alone without checking the matching row.

The university publishes academic and presidential award tiers that can include housing at certain GPA and ACT combinations. Some awards are considered automatically after admission, while others require the General & Endowed application and a search for matching funds. Students should submit all required academic records by the priority date because a later GPA update may not increase an offer already calculated.

Among the special opportunities, the FIRST/BEST Robotics award lists $2,000 per year for high-school seniors who participated on eligible teams and enroll full time; engineering and engineering-technology applicants receive priority, though the award is open to other STEM majors. Other funds consider leadership, class rank, or partner districts, each with its own rules and sometimes a different deadline.

A practical sequence is to apply for admission early, send transcripts and any requested scores, and then complete the general application for awards that are not automatic. Ask admissions which scholarships may be stacked and whether an amount depends on campus housing. Institutional aid can reduce UNA’s price, but it does not automatically eliminate personal expenses or replace FAFSA when a family wants to be considered for federal grants.
